Narrative:

After departure from gate, prior to pushback, I was informed that a passenger had such an unbearable odor of urine on her, that passenger around her, had moved their seats and others were complaining to the flight attendants. I requested that the agents for the flight return to the aircraft and investigate the suitability of this passenger for transport and to assess the possibility of future disruption of the flight. After looking at the passenger and attempting to speak to her (spanish speaking only) the agent decided to disembark the passenger. The flight continued without further incident. I was not informed prior to departure of this passenger's condition, nor was I informed of the agent's reason for the disembarking of the passenger.
