MELBOURNE, Australia (TND) — Passengers on a Virgin Australia flight from Perth to Melbourne got quite the show when a naked man ran down the aisle mid-flight forcing the plane to turn around.
Australian Federal Police told The Independent that the "disruptive passenger" on the domestic flight knocked down a flight attendant before being tackled by another passenger.
A Virgin Australia spokesperson said that police met the aircraft on arrival in Perth and the guest was offloaded after the incident.
"The safety of our guests and crew is our top priority and we sincerely apologise to guests impacted," the spokesperson added.
Flight VA696 was originally scheduled for 3 hours and 30 minutes but was forced to return to Perth Airport Monday night, according to FlightAware.
"The man was transferred to hospital for assessment, where he remains," police stated.
Information was not provided about where or when the man took off his clothes.
According to The Guardian, police are expected to order the man by summons to appear in a Perth court on June 14.
Australian Federal Police are investigating the incident.
