The passenger also became aggressive and "hands on" when the female FA asked him (on several occasions) to stop. The cabin crew ultimately decided not to intervene with more drastic measure - the crew believed the passenger's response, givien his condition, could be much more severe than merely preventing the other F passengers from sleeping.

LH is much stricter with how they can subdue unruly passengers (that may not necessarily pose a direct threat to the safety of the plane or the passengers).
