Non-stop 17-hour flight forced to turn back due to disruptive passenger

A Qantas flight to London was forced to return to Perth about two hours after taking off due to a disruptive passenger.
The Boeing 787 took off from Perth at 7.03pm and was due to land at 10.54pm in London after a 17-hour flight, reports ABC News.
Qantas said the passenger was met by Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers when the aircraft landed in Perth, and taken off flight QF9.
The disrutive passenger was reportedly handcuffed, masked, then removed by police, the report added.
A fellow passenger, who was travelling on the flight with her husband and three-month-old baby, said the man appeared "incredibly agitated" and his behaviour was "hyper aggressive, like a cornered animal".
Speaking to ABC News, she said: "He locked himself in the loo for about an hour."
Then he was squaring off against another passenger and sort of shouting in his face.
"It looked like it was going to turn into a brawl. Eventually they managed to calm him down and get him back in his seat.
"One of the cabin crew, one of the ladies, I think was a bit upset. But for us, luckily, we were far enough away that we didn't feel threatened."
Passenger Christine Kohli said cabin crew asked passengers to help them control the man.
She said: "They did ask for some assistance from some male passengers, and some passengers went and helped him.
"I think the cabin crew were marvellous, they were very in control of the situation, they were calming passengers."

The passengers have praised the actions of the crew on board. The incident caused delays, with Qantas saying that the extra flying time pushed the crew members over their duty limits, and the flight was rescheduled.
Passengers were provided with overnight accommodation, and eventually left Perth about 17 hours after their initial departure time, the airline said in a statement.
