SEATTLE \u2014 A spokesman for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport says a flight was diverted to the Seattle area Tuesday after a man allegedly tried to kiss a girl next to him.<\/p>\n

Perry Cooper said Port of Seattle police arrested the 23-year-old California man for investigation of fourth-degree assault when the plane diverted to Sea-Tac Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Cooper said the man attempted to kiss a 16-year-old girl who was sleeping on the plane next to him. The pilot was notified and reported it to police.<\/p>\n
