A passenger at Melbourne Airport in Australia was arrested after he exited a stationary airliner through an emergency exit, walked along a wing, and climbed down a jet engine to the tarmac. The man had been on Jetstar Flight JQ507 from Sydney, and his bizarre behavior caused panic among the other passengers. He was arrested by Australian Federal Police for allegedly breaching aircraft safety protocols and exhibiting aggressive behavior. The man was taken to a hospital for assessment, and charges are likely to be laid at a later date. Despite the alarming incident, Melbourne Airport praised the swift response of ground crew in ensuring there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff. The man’s erratic actions on the plane and subsequent arrest remain under investigation by the authorities.
