A man caused chaos on a Virgin Australia flight from Perth to Melbourne, running naked down the aisle, prompting an unexpected landing.
In an unusual incident, a man was detained by police at an airport after he allegedly caused chaos on a domestic flight from Australia. Reports claim he ran down the aisle of the plane naked, causing a flight attendant to fall and leading to an unexpected landing.
The disruptive event occurred on a Virgin Australia flight from Perth to Melbourne. The flight, scheduled for Monday evening, faced a 30-minute delay due to the incident. Virgin Australia stated that the reason for the return to Perth Airport was a "disruptive passenger."
Upon landing, authorities from the Australian Federal Police were ready to handle the situation. The disruptive individual was removed from the flight. Police reports suggest that the man allegedly knocked down a crew member while running through the plane in his underwear.
The man was then taken to a hospital for assessment, where he remains under observation. It's unclear how or where the passenger undressed on the aircraft. Police intend to summon the man to appear in a Perth court on June 14, although the specific charges are yet to be determined.
The airline apologized for any difficulty it may have caused and stressed how crucial crew and passenger safety is. Both the airline and police chose not to provide further comments on the matter. Thankfully, according to reports, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
