"There was no corroborative evidence or complaint given by co-passengers regarding someone peeing on them," he said on behalf of law enforcement, according to local outletNDTV.

The investigation is currently ongoing.

American Airlines confirmed the "disruption on board" Flight 292 and the arrest in a statement toNBC New York.
