"We can confirm that a passenger opened the emergency exit door after arrival into Melbourne, which automatically deployed the slide," Jetstar said in a statement to Sky News.
"When everyone realized what he was trying to do, everyone was like 'Stop, what are you doing? We're about to leave,'" the TikToker, who goes by Kyle Kenneth, recounted.
7News obtained a video of the man walking along the jet's wing before being apprehended by airport staff, highlighting the chaotic moments after the door was opened.
"The man was assessed by ambulance officers and was transferred to hospital for further assessment" according to a spokesperson for the Australian Federal Police.
