Man urinated on British Airways passenger and his child’s teddy bear.

 

A British man is in court after he drunkenly got his genitalia out and peed on a passenger during a British Airways flight.

 

The court heard that during the January eight-hour flight from Barbados to Heathrow, Adam Purchase, 54, began “urinating liberally” damaging passenger Thomas Homphrey’s shoes and socks with his urine, as well as his child’s teddy bear and drinks bottle.

 

According to the airline, the seats and carpet of the plane were also damaged to the tune of over £1,000.

 

Purchase, who was drinking throughout, was travelling with his two sons, aged ten and eight. Mr Homphrey was sat behind with his wife and child.

 

Ms Ashleigh Ettiene, prosecuting, told Uxbridge magistrates’ court: “Mr Purchase became drunk and incoherent.”

 

She added: “At 11pm the complainant Mr Homphrey was awoken by his wife shouting ‘oh my God he’s peeing everywhere’.

 

“Urine was splashing on his legs and feet. Mr Purchase had his genitalia out and was urinating.

 

“It was a packed aircraft. There were children present, including his own.

 

“Mr Purchase has been described as being drunk and urinating liberally, coming across as reckless and causing damage to the aircraft.”

 

Purchase reportedly drank two rum and ginger ales at Barbados’ Grantley Adams International Airport prior to the flight. He later had two small bottles of wine on the plane.

 

He claims to have no recollection beyond that other than being woken up upon landing.

 

Purchase was released on unconditional bail and sent to Isleworth crown court to be sentenced next month.

 

The stonemason appeared on the British television show Grand Designs in 2011 when he and his partner attempted to transform an old engine house into a family home, but he ran out of money before completing the project for the programme.
