Wild reason woman gets kicked off flight
A 28-year-old Perth woman has been removed from a Virgin flight bound for Melbourne after starting a verbal altercation with airline staff.
Australian Federal Police were reportedly called to a flight waiting to leave Perth Airport after a woman began to act erratically on the outbound plane, which had yet to depart its gate.
Footage shows the woman verbally accosting a flight attendant, apparently over a disagreement revolving around her possession of a 'bum bag'.
'You're telling me to take my clothes off on a plane, f*** off,' says the woman in the footage, directing her vitriolic barrage towards a flight attendant standing in the aisle.
'No I didn't say that … you had a bum bag on, in the event of an evacuation we need to make sure you're safe and everyone else is safe,' the attendant replies calmly.
Another member of the crew then ushers the attendant away, before staff tell the woman the AFP will 'deal with' her.
7News reports the woman was eventually ushered off the plane by AFP officers and then arrested and formally charged.
The AFP and Virgin have been contacted for comment.
More to come.

Grim scenes in quiet residential street
A quiet residential street in Melbourne's northwest has been cordoned off after a man was arrested and police discovered human remains believed to be that of missing man Joshua Bishop, who disappeared a month ago. Sunbury man Joshua Bishop, 23, was last seen by his housemates in Lalor Crescent about 9.30pm May 27. He was reported missing two days later on May 29 by his mother. Police launched an investigation into the man's disappearance, which they said was 'completely out of character' and 'suspicious'. On Saturday, police completed a search warrant of a home in Erinbank Crescent in Westmeadows in Melbourne's northwest, where they discovered human remains. The remains are yet to be formally identified, though police believe they are of the missing Sunbury man. Police later arrested a 27-year-old Westmeadows man, who will be taken to a police station to be interviewed. No charges have been laid. The grisly discovery was made approximately 32km from the missing man's Sunbury home. A crime scene has been established by police, with officers from the Major Crime Scene Unit attending as they process the scene. The front yard of the Westmeadows property was cordoned off with police tape while officers examined the scene. Forensic officers were later seen wheeling his remains out of the house before loading it into the police vehicle, flanked by forensic officers, police and paramedics. Mr Bishop had never been reported missing before and was not known to police. His phone and bank accounts had not been accessed since May 27, and his phone last pinged at Broadmeadows Valley Park on Barry Rd. Police conducted a search of the park on June 6 but returned 10 days later for a renewed search. His heartbroken mother Kristie urged the public for any information, telling 9News his disappearance was 'definitely out of character'. 'Josh was really open with me. We had a really good relationship,' she said. 'This is not something he would do unless he felt he had to.' On social media, dad Travis pleaded for the safe return of his son. 'My heart is broken, please complete my family and bring my boy home,' he wrote. 'I'd give everything to have you in my arms.' He told 9News his son was 'loved by everyone' and urged anyone with information to come forward. 'Someone has to know something,' he told the outlet. 'We've had a lot of support, but we still haven't got any closer to our son, which is hard.' Relatives have set up a GoFundMe page to assist in the search for the missing man, which has since raised over $15,000. 'Our beloved Josh is missing, and our family is doing everything we can to bring him home safely,' the fundraiser read. 'Every moment that passes without answers is incredibly difficult, but we remain determined to keep searching until we find him.'
