A deputy US Marshal was arrested by UK police on Tuesday after he allegedly harassed and sexually assaulted a woman during a Delta Airlines flight from JFK Airport to London, according to authorities and reports.
A federal law enforcement officer “exhibited inappropriate behavior” while intoxicated on a flight that landed at Heathrow Airport Wednesday morning, the US Marshals Service said in a statement to The Post.
The deputy, 39, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault after staff told authorities that “passengers were harassing and had sexually assaulted other passengers and crew members,” London’s Metro Police said in a statement.
The US Marshals Service said it would cooperate with UK law enforcement officers as their investigation continued.
“The US Marshals Service takes seriously any allegations of misconduct by its employees,” the Marshals Service said. “The alleged actions of the employee do not reflect the professionalism of the thousands of USMS employees or its core values.”

A second deputy marshal was also detained, but only for a short time, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press. The marshal was sent home.
The pair were originally sent to London to bring home the suspect when the federal officer was accused of sexually assaulting a woman on board, four law enforcement officials told NBC 4, which first reported the incident.
