A passenger on a Paris-to-New York flight has been accused of trying to punch the captain and grabbing his crotch.
The FBI says Mathias Guerrand-Hermes was released on bail after appearing in court Wednesday. He is charged with interfering with flight crew members.
The court complaint said the commotion on board the Air France flight began when Guerrand-Hermes, who reports claim is an heir to the French luxury fashion house Hermes, sat on a female passenger's armrest and ignored orders to sit down.
The crew handcuffed Guerrand-Hermes until the plane landed at JFK International Airport where he was arrested.
