A 17-year-old boy breached security at Avalon Airport in Victoria, attempting to board a Jetstar flight with a loaded shotgun. He entered the airport through a hole in the perimeter fence and was overpowered by passengers before police arrived. The flight, carrying around 150 people, was from Ballarat to Sydney and none of the passengers were injured.
As he approached the plane, he's mounted or climbed the front stairs to the front of the plane.
Victoria Police really commend the bravery of those passengers who were ... able to overpower that male.
No doubt this would have been a very terrifying incident for the passengers of that plane.
We are sincerely grateful to the customers who assisted our crew to safely manage the situation.
Before we knew it, a shotgun appeared and I was worried about it being shot, so all I could do was push her out of the way, get the gun out of the way, break that gun and throw it down the stairs, and then put him in a hold, throw him to the ground until the police came.
