NEW YORK — A family is suing Delta Air Lines after a mother and daughter say a drunk passenger groped them on an international flight.

A mother claims the crew overserved alcohol to a man who was sitting next to her and her 16-year-old. The man “became aggressive” and “began yelling” at the teen, who says she asked the passenger to leave her alone, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims the man kept asking her personal questions, made obscene gestures and put his hands up the teen’s back and the mother’s thigh.
The mother and daughter said they complained several times to the flight attendant but nothing was done.
