A flight from Perth to Melbourne took an unexpected turn when a passenger caused chaos onboard. According to reports, the man allegedly ran through the aircraft completely naked, knocking over a crew member in the process. This shocking incident occurred during a Virgin Australia flight that had departed Perth at approximately 7:21pm.
The situation quickly escalated and the flight was forced to turn back around and return to Perth Airport at 7:56pm. Upon arrival, the Australian Federal Police were waiting to arrest the man and take him to the hospital for a medical assessment. It was later revealed that the disruptive passenger had been offloaded from the flight.
Concerned callers had informed 3AW's Rumour File that the man had been running up and down the aisles during the flight. One caller shared that it took two air marshals to restrain and handcuff the individual until the flight could land safely. A spokesperson for Virgin Australia confirmed that the flight, VA696, had indeed returned to Perth due to a "disruptive passenger" onboard.
The safety and well-being of all guests and crew members is always the top priority for Virgin Australia. The spokesperson issued a sincere apology to those affected by the incident. Thankfully, the majority of passengers were able to rebook their flights to Melbourne.
Meanwhile, the man responsible for the commotion remains in the hospital and is expected to appear in court on June 14th. The charges he will face are still being determined by the police. This unexpected turn of events serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a peaceful and respectful environment during flights.
