- Police have arrested a drunk man after he was kicked off a flight at Perth Airport
- Australian Federal Police then asked the man to leave the airport but he refused
- The man was charged with three separate offences before being released on bail
A drunken man who went on an aggressive rant inside an airport terminal after being kicked off his flight has been charged with three offences.
The 45-year-old man was booted off his Perth to Brisbane flight on Thursday after the cabin crew on-board judged him to be acting aggressive and in an intoxicated state.
Australian Federal Police officers were called to Perth domestic airport after the man was led back into the terminal, where he continued to aggressively abuse officers.

When the man refused to leave the terminal he was arrested and later charged with obstructing a public officer, disorderly behaviour in a public place and trespassing.
AFP Acting Manager Aviation, Superintendent Andrew Donoghoe said abusive behaviour would not be tolerated at airports or on aircraft.
‘Authorities have zero tolerance for abusive and aggressive behaviour in airports or on aircraft,’ Superintendent Donoghoe said.
‘We need to treat each other the way we want to be treated, with respect.
‘During this peak holiday travel season, with many families travelling, the AFP is urging people to consider their alcohol intake, consider their fellow travelers and consider if their behaviour is appropriate.’
The man was bailed and will next appear at the Perth Magistrates Court on 23 January 2018.
