Cyid . The teenager entered the hole at the fence at Avolon Airport, and then made his way into the plane from about 160 passengers on board, police chief Victoria Michael Raid told reporters.
“When he approached the plane, he was installed or rose across the front staircase to the front of the plane,” he said. “At that moment, the passengers found that the man was carrying a firearm. The man has at least overcome three passengers.”
No one was injured, and the police took the boy.
The raid said the boy had a gun, and “there were ammunition located with a firearm.”
It is planned that the plane flew to Sydney on the flight run by the QAantas Budget Offtlethoot Jetstar budget.
The raid said the police had been in contact with investigators to combat terrorism, but it was early to set the motive, Raid said.
“Undoubtedly, it would be a very terrible incident for passengers,” he said. “Victoria's police really welcome the courage of the passengers who … were able to overcome this man.”
The boy seemed to act alone in the afternoon and was not known to the police.
“It is very much concerned with the fact that a person can first break the safety, approach the plane, and then make their way potentially close to the airplane with a firearm,” the raid said.
It is unknown whether he cut the hole in the airport fence or he was already.
A video about the incident on the Australian Canal's air showed a boy in a fluorescent green jacket – similar in color to those who carry the name staff – fixed on the floor by passengers and pilots.
The flight attendant goes by the melee, which looks like a gun.
Barry Clark passenger, a rural city in Victoria, said the teenager was “dressed as an employee” or some “technician”.
He seemed “excited”, – said Clark National TV company ABC.
“Before we understood this, a gun appeared – a gun appeared – and I was worried that there were shots,” Clark said. “Everything I could do is pull the gun out of the road. And then put it in delay and throw it on the ground until the police came. I was taught from the boy to be responsible and care for others, and we are a sports family, so I was safely sure that I could handle it.”
Another passenger, identified only as Wood, said ABC that he joined Clark, pilot and another person who would help restrain the boy after the fight began.
“We were all aboard, I was the last, sat in my chair, heard Kerfuf and saw a pilot and this other guy who copes with this young boy in a high-level vest,” he said.
Jetstar said he was working with police and airport authorities investigating the incident.
“We know that this would be a very unpleasant situation,” the statement reads. “We are honestly grateful to customers who helped our crew safely manage the situation.”
