Today, a man is set to appear in court in Melbourne for allegedly assaulting a crew member on an international flight. The incident occurred during a flight from Perth to Auckland yesterday morning, when the Australian Federal Police were notified of a passenger who was behaving erratically and appeared to be under the influence.
According to reports, the 23-year-old man from New Zealand not only caused a disturbance, but also refused to follow the crew's instructions. In addition, he is accused of physically assaulting one of the crew members. Fortunately, the crew member only sustained a minor injury.
As a result of the incident, the flight was diverted to Melbourne Airport, where the Australian Federal Police were waiting to board the aircraft. They were able to remove the unruly passenger, who had been restrained at the back of the plane. The man has since been charged with one count of assaulting a crew member, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Superintendent Stephen Cook of the AFP expressed his concern over the incident, emphasizing the impact it had on the flight's schedule and the well-being of other passengers and crew. He also highlighted the seriousness of any disruptive or violent behavior on a flight, as it can pose a direct threat to the safety of the aircraft.
