A Jetstar passenger allegedly attacked an Australian Federal Police officer at Perth Airport, resulting in the officer receiving facial injuries. The incident occurred after the passenger allegedly became disruptive during a flight from Sydney.
Horrific images have emerged of a police officer's blood-stained face after he was allegedly attacked by a Jetstar passenger. An Australian Federal Police officer has spent a night in hospital after allegedly being attacked by a female Jetstar passenger at Perth Airport. Images of the officer's blood-stained face were released by the AFP on Tuesday afternoon after he was discharged from Royal Perth Hospital earlier in the day.
The AFP received a request for assistance on Monday night after the woman allegedly became disruptive and refused to follow crew instructions on a flight from Sydney. Officers swarmed the Jetstar aircraft after it pulled into the gate and escorted a 34-year-old woman from Perth off the plane. \An AFP officer was allegedly attacked by a woman at Perth Airport on Monday night. The officer spent the night in hospital before being discharged on Tuesday morning. 'It will be alleged when officers tried to restrain the woman, she pulled away, striking an officer's forearm with a pen that had been concealed under her clothing,' the AFP said. 'A second officer went to restrain the woman and was allegedly struck in the face and neck with the pen. The woman was arrested and escorted off the tarmac.' \The woman was charged with multiple offences, including two counts of causing harm to a Commonwealth public official, contrary to section 147.1 of the Criminal Code (Cth). She was also charged with one count of obstructing a Commonwealth public official, contrary to section 149.1 of the Criminal Code (Cth) and one count of failing to comply with safety instructions given by cabin crew, contrary to section 91.580 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (Cth). 'The AFP and its partners have zero tolerance for antisocial, violent or dangerous behaviour towards passengers, staff or law enforcement at our airports, and we will take action against those who offend,' AFP Acting Commander Murray Taylor said. 'Passengers expect to feel safe while travelling and should not have to witness intoxication, violence or bad behaviour. 'While our members acknowledge there is a certain element of risk to their role, the AFP will not tolerate any harm caused to members while performing their duties to keep travellers, airline and airport staff safe.' A Jetstar spokesperson said the low-cost carrier 'will never tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard our aircraft or within the terminal and appreciate the ongoing assistance and support of the AFP'
