Australian Federal Police officers arrested the “disruptive passenger” after Virgin flight VA696 returned to Perth Airport on Monday night.

“The AFP responded to a request for assistance from airline staff,” a spokesman said on Tuesday.

“Officers arrested a man after he allegedly ran naked through the aircraft mid-flight and knocked a crew member to the floor.”

The man was taken to hospital for medical assessment where he remains.
