A Queensland man who allegedly assaulted an airline worker is due to face Perth Magistrates Court today.
The 45-year-old man allegedly became aggressive at Perth Domestic Airport last night after he was removed from a flight bound for Brisbane because he was intoxicated.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the man allegedly lunged toward an airline staff member and hit him in the groin area with his hand as he was removed from the flight.

The AFP will also allege the man was swearing near other passengers, including families with children.

“The man was warned about his behaviour, but allegedly continued acting in a disorderly manner,” AFP said in a statement.

The man was later charged with one count of common assault and one count of disorderly behaviour in a public place.

The maximum penalty for each of these offences is 18 months imprisonment and an $18,000 fine.

AFP detective acting superintendent Peter Brindal said the AFP is committed to working closely with the airline industry to ensure the safety of the public.
