Drunk passenger forces emergency landing
A drunk passenger allegedly spewed racial slurs at staff, broke out of restraints twice and aggressively waved a skateboard around, eventually forcing an emergency landing on board an LA-bound flight. David Leroy Carter, a 46-year-old Los Angeles resident, was taken into custody by Colorado police on Wednesday afternoon after he 'became agitated' four hours into his flight out of Norfolk, Virginia, according to NBC Los Angeles. The man was on-board US budget airline, Breeze Airways. The Grand Junction Police Department said airline staff had placed the 'intoxicated' passenger in restraints twice during the flight, but 'he managed to break free both times' during his profanity-laced tirade. Breeze Flight MX704 was diverted to Grand Junction Airport in Colorado, according to FlightAware. Upon landing, Carter was arrested and booked into the Mesa County Detention Facility. 'This is an ongoing investigation and any further information and charges will be released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,' the department wrote in a statement. Startling footage of the midair chaos posted to TikTok shows a flight attendant appearing to try to restrain Carter with plastic zip-ties, only for him to push past and stand face-to-face with the worker. 'That's the last thing you're going to do to me,' he's heard telling the flight attendant. 'Stop! You need to sit down!' she demanded while Carter smirked and replied, 'No, ma'am.' The flight attendant asked other passengers and workers to help her 'get control' of the situation and help restrain Carter. Seconds later, a large man in a white T-shirt walks over to Carter, towering over him. The flyer picks up Carter under the arms with ease, carries him like a child through the plane's aisle and plants him down in his seat. 'Sit your ass down,' the good Samaritan scolds. Police reported no injuries during the midair bedlam, but Breeze Airways told NBC Los Angeles that 'one flight attendant and one guest were evaluated for minor injuries'. 'Our focus now is on taking care of our Crew and remaining Guests who have been unfairly inconvenienced by this unfortunate event and getting them safely to their final destination as quickly as possible,' the airline said. The FBI said charges will be submitted to the US Attorney's Office for Colorado, but did not share what charges Carter is facing. The Post has reached out to the FBI and Breeze Airways for comment.

CCTV captures wild moment arsonists douse front of Penrith home in fuel, set it on fire
Wild footage has captured the moment two masked arsonists doused the front of a home in petrol before igniting it. The footage, exclusively shared to 2GB Sydney on Friday, allegedly shows two masked men outside the home on Hope St in Penrith just after 10pm on Thursday night. One is seen pouring an accelerant from a fuel can on the home's porch, as the second ignites a rag and tosses it near the front door. When the fuel fails to ignite, the same man returns and tries again, causing flames to jump and consume the door. In a statement, NSW Police said the front door of the property sustained extensive damage but confirmed no-one was injured. A crime scene has been declared and detectives are investigating the 'suspicious' incident. It is not known if anyone was inside the home at the time.

19 arrested for allegedly stealing $10 million worth of baby formula and other items
Police have arrested 19 people for allegedly stealing more than $10 million worth of baby formula, medicines, skincare products and toiletries from supermarkets across Melbourne. The investigation dubbed Operation Supernova targeted an alleged syndicate involving international students which police say are mostly from India on temporary, student or bridging visas. Police said the alleged thieves took baby formula, medicines, vitamins, skincare products, electric toothbrushes and toiletries over the past five months. Officers alleged those who stole items passed them on to "receivers" who then sold them on to others for profit. Among the arrests are three men, all in their 20s, who police alleged stole more than $100,000 worth of retail items each. They're facing dozens of theft charges and have been remanded to appear in court later this month and next. The investigation was carried out by Box Hill Divisional Response Unit who worked with major retailers and the Australian Border Force. Retail theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in Victoria, with 41,270 offences recorded in the past year — a 38 per cent increase state-wide, police said. "This has been one of the most significant operations we've undertaken in recent times to target organised retail theft," Detective Acting Inspector Rachele Ciavarella said.
