US EditionTeen Charged with Attempted Hijacking of Jetstar Flight Undergoing Brain Scans
VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 15 – The 17-year-old is undergoing brain and psychological assessments amid investigations into possible neurological conditions and foreign communications linked to the hijack attempt.
- On March 6, a 17-year-old boy attempted to hijack a Jetstar flight at Avalon Airport, Victoria, and was tackled and arrested, authorities say.
- The boy's lawyer said `further medical investigations, including more brain scans, would be required in the coming weeks to determine a clear diagnosis` as he undergoes brain scans, supported by a joint counter-terrorism taskforce probe.
- Clad in high-visibility clothing, the boy boarded the Jetstar flight through a fence breach at Avalon Airport near Geelong at about 2.20pm.
- Ahead of this, prosecutors withdrew four charges including theft of two shotguns, and the magistrate adjourned the case to October to obtain medical material.
- Later this week, the lawyer said, the boy will be psychologically assessed, and he is due to have further brain scans in late August at a regional hospital, with a forensic child psychologist also evaluating him.
