On May 28, 2024, Australian authorities arrested a man accused of running naked down the aisle of a domestic Virgin Australia flight from Perth to Melbourne. The incident occurred early in the scheduled 3.5-hour flight.

According to officials, the unidentified passenger allegedly removed his clothes mid-flight and began running naked through the cabin, knocking down a flight attendant in the process. The airline stated that the "disruptive passenger" forced the plane to turn back and return to Perth Airport, where Australian Federal Police were waiting to apprehend the man.


"Officers arrested a man after he allegedly ran naked through the aircraft mid-flight and knocked a crew member to the floor," the police said in a statement. The man was taken to the hospital for assessment and is expected to be summoned to appear in a Perth court on June 14th. The charges he will face have not yet been finalized.


Virgin Australia apologized to the other passengers "impacted" by the incident, reiterating that the safety of its customers and crew is the airline's top priority. Neither the airline nor the police provided any additional details about what led the passenger to allegedly strip and disrupt the flight.


The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that nobody was physically injured during the incident. The unscheduled return to Perth caused significant delays and disruption for the flight's passengers.



澳洲警方拘捕涉在航班上裸奔的男子


2024年5月28日,澳洲當局拘捕了一名被指在維珍澳洲由珀斯飛往墨爾本的國內航班上裸奔的男子。這起事件發生在原定3.5小時航程的初段。


根據官方消息,這名不知名的乘客據稱中途脫光衣服,然後在機艙內裸奔,期間更撞倒了一名空勤人員。航空公司表示,這名「擾亂航班秩序的乘客」迫使航班折返並返回珀斯機場,當地聯邦警察在那裡等候將他拘捕。


警方表示:「我們拘捕了一名男子,因他涉嫌在航班中途裸奔並把一名機組人員撞倒在地」。這名男子被送往醫院接受評估,預料將會於6月14日在珀斯法院應訊,但具體罪名尚未確定。


維珍澳洲對受事件影響的其他乘客致歉,重申乘客和機組人員的安全是航空公司的首要任務。航空公司和警方沒有進一步透露導致這名乘客脫衣和擾亂航班的原因。


澳洲廣播公司報導,事件中沒有人受傷。航班意外返回珀斯造成了嚴重延誤和不便。
