By Park Si-soo

A Russian man is under police investigation on suspicion of molesting a female cabin crew member on a Philippine-bound flight that stopped over at South Korea's Incheon International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, police said Wednesday.

South Korean police escorted the man, whose identity was withheld, off the flight. They said the crew member reported the case while the plane was coming in to Incheon.

The woman felt “humiliated” when the man grabbed her waist from behind for no reason, investigators said. They didn't give further details.
