Aeroplanes are a scary enough place to be at the best of times, never mind having to worry about being harassed by your fellow passengers. 

You're hurtling through the air at about 12km above the ground, and a man decides it would be a great idea to place his hand on your lap – what do you do?

Well, one woman faced this exact level of harassment while travelling on a plane, and the case is currently being investigate by the FBI.

A female passenger on a United Airlines flight was travelling from New Jersey to Charlotte, North Carolina.

During the flight, the 73-year-old man sitting beside her allegedly groped her between her legs. 

The woman alerted airline staff of the alleged assault, and they were separated. 

The man blamed his hand movement on turbulence.

Sources told WSOC-TV that they saw commotion on the plane, and that the man was escorted off the aircraft by authorities after it landed.

'Im sure a woman knows the difference between a hand hitting her versus being groped,' another passenger told WSOC-TV.

According to their sources, the incident is now being investigated by the FBI as it happened in the air.

Drake proved himself to be a real-life hero last night after he halted his show to confront a man who was allegedly groping females in the audience.

The Canadian rapper was performing an after-show set at Sydney's Marquee nightclub when the incident occurred.

Visibly frustrated by the situation, the 34-year-old signalled for the music to stop before leaning into the crowd.

"If you don't stop touching girls, I will come out there and f*ck you up," he said.

"If you don't stop putting your hands on girls, I'm gonna come out there and f*ck your ass up."

His threats were met with huge cheers from the crowd, and while it's not clear what happened to the man after this point, we're assuming security escorted him out of the building.

Luckily for us, one member of the audience caught the entire thing on video so we can all enjoy this moment of justice.

Uploading the footage to Instagram, user louisesukari wrote: “I got this close to Drake threatening to jump into the crowd to start a fight with a guy groping a woman in the audience. Violence against women, 6 God says no.”

On Monday, Broadway actor, Anthony Rapp, claimed Kevin Spacey tried to seduce him when he was just 14-years-old.

Since then, the House of Cards actor has issued an apology, come out as gay, and has been dropped by Netflix.

In the week that followed Rapp's allegations, a number of other men came forward claiming Spacey had acted inappropriately toward them, the latest of whom is Richard Dreyfuss' son, Harry.

Richard is an American actor/ writer, best known for his roles in Jaws, Stand By Me and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

In a piece written for Buzzfeed News, Harry Dreyfuss explained what happened the night the alleged incident took place.

“When I was an 18-year-old senior in high school, Kevin Spacey groped me,” he revealed.

“It happened one night when the three of us were alone in Kevin’s apartment rehearsing my father’s lines. My father didn’t see, and I didn’t tell him about the incident for many years. Instead, I spent the next nine years telling people the story at parties for laughs.”

He describes how he did not want to alert his father because Spacey was his boss at the time.

Harry went on to explain how, as he began to share his story with more and more people, he realised just how common these types of incidents were.

“Often, they would respond by saying, “I know a guy that that happened to as well.” The victims in many of these stories were often young men.”

“All of these responses made me realize there wasn’t anything funny about my story. It wasn’t a joke,” he added.

The 27-year-old admits that although he had his reservations about coming forward, the recent string of allegations against Harvey Weinstein, and indeed the other victims who have spoken out against Kevin Spacey, inspired him to do so.

“I came to see how important it is to add my voice to the people who are demanding a better world. A world in which powerful men are no longer allowed to feel safe to do this, or far worse.”

Last night, Richard tweet in support of his son saying: "I love my son @harrydreyfuss more than I could explain with all the words in the world. And I am so incredibly proud of him right now."
