A Qantas flight departing Port Hedland in Western Australia's Pilbara was delayed for three hours after a man allegedly assaulted a flight attendant.
It's understood the flight crew were evicting another man who was heavily drunk when the man, believed to be a co-worker, began arguing with them about 1.15pm yesterday, according to news.com.au.
He allegedly grabbed a female staff member by the hand before pushing her into the wall of the plane's galley area, police say.
She was bruised and sore as a result.
The flight to Brisbane was delayed for three hours.
