“Brisbane Airport would like to thank passengers who assisted following an incident at the Domestic Terminal near Gate 45,” a spokesperson said.

“Passengers helped to restrain a man along with crew members until Australian Federal Police arrived.”

Australian Federal Police confirmed their response to a disturbance at Brisbane Airport’s domestic terminal at around 11:20am on May 15.

A man was arrested shortly after and transported to the Brisbane Watch House.
