Narrative:

My only contact with passenger that was arrested. He kept walking around trying to find this friend. He blocked the first class lavatory while talking to the purser and wouldn't move to let a first class passenger in to use it. Finally I had to move him by forcefully saying, 'please move so this passenger can use the lavatory.' otherwise I was not directly involved with the incident.
