A 28-year-old woman has been booted from a domestic flight following a bizarre stoush with cabin crew staff.
Virgin airline crew reported dealing with a woman who allegedly began acting erratically on a flight bound for Melbourne from Perth on Friday.
Footage from the incident showed the woman appearing to argue with a flight attendant while the plane was still on the tarmac.
The woman had reportedly been asked to remove a bum bag for the flight but allegedly repeatedly refused.
‘You’re telling me to take my clothes off on a plane, f*** off,’ she said in the footage.
The alleged barrage appeared to have been directed at an air hostess.
‘No I didn’t say that… you had a bum bag on, in the event of an evacuation we need to make sure you’re safe and everyone else is safe,’ the attendant responded.
‘That’s alright the (Australian Federal Police) will deal with you.’
Another crew member could then be seen ushering the stewardess away.
Officers of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) then boarded the plane.
Seven News reported the woman was hauled off the plane and charged by AFP officers.
‘The Perth woman was spoken to and removed from the plane without incident,’ an AFP spokeswoman said.
The woman will be issued with a summons to appear in court at a later date.
