## Resource

A 37-year-old man with schizophrenia, not on medication, caused chaos at Brisbane Airport on May 15, 2025, shoving a Virgin Australia employee and fleeing the scene in a scooter helmet. He’d already disrupted a Sydney-bound flight and was barred from a connecting flight to Mackay, sparking a terminal meltdown. Crew and bystanders held him down until police arrived. He pleaded guilty to assault and public nuisance, already jailed for other offenses. The airline and airport praised those who helped de-escalate. Under Queensland law, he faces up to seven years for assault plus additional time for public nuisance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
