A Victorian man has been charged after he allegedly engaged in disorderly behaviour and obstructed AFP officers on an aircraft earlier this month. AFP officers at Brisbane Airport arrested the man, 40, after responding to a request for assistance from airline staff. They boarded the Melbourne-bound aircraft and instructed the man to disembark but he allegedly became increasingly aggressive and refused to comply with police directions. AFP officers were allegedly required to restrain the man to remove him from the aircraft. Officers suffered minor injuries as a result. The AFP has zero tolerance for antisocial, violent or dangerous behaviour and will prosecute anyone if they pose a threat to people’s safety.
