A flight attendant was arrested in Japan after allegedly shoplifting from a store and biting a security guard when she confronted him about the reported theft, local media reported.
Singapore Airlines stewardess Bai Peixuan, 33, was arrested on November 6 in Narita, Chiba prefecture, Japan, after allegedly stealing six items from a shop in the city, Singaporean newspaper The Straits Times reported.
The items allegedly stolen included bath towels and a tote bag totaling more than $60, according to Japan’s NTV News.
A 51-year-old security guard confronted the woman about the alleged theft and tried to prevent her from leaving the store.
He responded by biting her arm, which left her with minor injuries, The Straits Times reported.
“He grabbed my neck, so I bit him because I wanted him to let go,” she told authorities when asked why she bit the man.

Singapore Airlines is consistently ranked as one of the best international airlines in the business, touting exceptional customer service, catering and spacious seating from coach class to its private cabins in first class, Travel and Leisure reported in March.
The suspect denied trying to steal the items, telling police he intended to pay for them before the security guard intervened.
“I did not steal the item, but I intend to pay for it later,” the woman told police, The Straits Times reported.
Singapore Airlines confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday that one of the company’s employees has been arrested in Japan.

“As this matter is under investigation, we are unable to comment further,” the airline added.
Japanese law allows local police departments to detain people suspected of committing crimes for up to 23 days, The Straits Times reported.
