Local police confirmed a 29-year-old man was arrested at the airport on suspicion of sexual assault and drunken behavior, according to the Independent.
The Sun cited a witness as stating that Olesen “started abusing some of the passengers and crew and then made a pass at one of the female passengers before taking a leak in the aisle.’
“It was shocking behavior. You would expect it maybe on a budget airline but not in the first-class cabin on BA.’’
Olesen, the world number 62, has reportedly since been released but remains under investigation.
