A passenger was arrested at an Australian airport after he left a stationary airliner through an emergency exit, walked along a wing and then climbed down a jet engine to the tarmac, officials said.

Jetstar Flight JQ507 arrived at Melbourne Airport from Sydney on Thursday and had parked at a terminal gate when the man left the plane by the right-side exit.
