Former National Hockey League (NHL) player Jiri Hudler is being investigated following a bizarre outburst on a recent Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Prague.
Citing a Czech newspaper, CBS Sports reports the 33-year-old has been accused by flight staff of demanding cocaine, making threats and attempting to urinate on a food cart during the trans-Atlantic flight.
At first, the flight attendant thought Hudler was asking for a "coke" in regard to the popular soda. After learning of his actual request, she refused. That's when the woman said the hockey star threatened to have his friends kill her upon landing in the Czech capital.
Hudler, who appeared to be intoxicated, according to a fellow passenger, is also alleged to have used cocaine in the plane's bathroom and attempted to urinate on a food cart.
Hudler denied the allegations and downplayed the incident
"Nothing happened, it was just such a small incident," he said via the newspaper. "Probably when we talk about it, it was not quite normal."
Swedish newspaper Expressen reported Hudler was arrested in Prague.
