Man claims he injured back sitting next to fat passenger

This man is suing British Airways for £10,000 after spending a ‘nightmare’ 12 hours sat next to a 23-stone passenger.

Stephen Prosser, 51, claims he suffered soft tissue damage after the man ‘wedged’ himself into the seat next to him.

He is only 5ft 2in and said the obese passenger was ‘so large’ his body fat ‘spilled’ into his window seat by several inches.

His lawyers say he was ‘forced to adjust his body and sit in an awkward and uncomfortable position’ during the flight from Bangkok to London Heathrow on January 10, 2016.

The civil engineer says he was left suffering symptoms from his injuries for the following three months, and is now seeking damages. Read more
