The Australian Federal Police (AFP) charged a 37-year-old Australian passenger with aggressive behavior towards the crew due to intoxication. He was removed from the flight and arrested at Perth Airport on March 24.
The man, who has not been identified, boarded the aircraft already under the influence of alcohol, according to authorities.
“When the airline staff requested that he leave the aircraft due to his intoxication, he allegedly became loud and aggressive towards employees and punched the wall outside the boarding gate,” the AFP stated.
Officers were called to arrest the Australian passenger. A video released by the Australian Federal Police shows the moment authorities approached the individual to make the arrest.
“The AFP works closely with our aviation industry partners to intervene when someone’s behavior in or around an airport becomes aggressive,” said AFP Detective Peter Brinda.
The Australian was charged with disorderly conduct in a public place and failure to comply with a police request. He could face fines of up to $6,000 for each offense.
