A man was forcibly restrained at Brisbane Airport following disruptive behavior after being denied boarding on a flight. Witnesses reported him aggressively running through the terminal and berating staff. A bystander tackled him with assistance from Virgin Australia staff as they awaited police. The situation was resolved quickly when law enforcement arrived, charging the man with assault and public nuisance. Fortunately, no ongoing threat to public safety was identified, and the man has been granted bail awaiting his court appearance.
When an airline staff member informed the man he was unable to board his next flight, the man allegedly began shouting abuse at the Virgin Australia staff.
Brisbane Airport issued a statement thanking those who stepped in to assist, stating, 'Passengers helped to restrain a man along with crew members until Australian Federal Police arrived.'
