The incident unfolded in front of shocked passengers on board a Virgin Australia flight at Townsville Airport on Wednesday evening.
After a short struggle the man is eventually shoved off the plane with the help of another passenger and an air hostess.
The man continues to yell profanities from outside the plane until the pilot instructs staff to"get the cops". A fed up pilot has been forced to leave the cockpit to boot an unruly passenger off a Virgin Australia flight.

Virgin Australia said the man was removed from the flight for disruptive behaviour and travel restrictions have been imposed. "The safety of guests and crew is our number one priority and we have zero tolerance for any type of unruly behaviour on Virgin Australia flights," the airline said.
