A plane has been forced to land when an unruly passenger threw a tantrum on board - over a sandwich.
Virgin flight DJ1432 left Darwin - bound for Perth - about 7am today.
But one hour into the journey the pilot turned back to Darwin International Airport when the man became verbally aggressive.
The drama was reportedly sparked by a dispute over a $10 sandwich.
Cabin crew blocked the aisle on both sides of the man's seat and apparently took him "down the back" of the plane.
One passenger said: "He was rambling, his behavior was erratic and he was shouting.
"It wasn't mayhem but he disturbed a few of the kids on board."
Australian Federal Police reportedly arrested the man but it is unknown if he will be charged.
Virgin spokeswoman Melissa Thompson said the plane had to be absorbed back into the flight schedule.
She said passengers affected by the disruption would be in Perth by 10pm.
