Unruly child 'throws luggage' and wreaks havoc at busy airport baggage carousel
An unruly child was filmed running along an airport conveyor belt and throwing luggage to the ground - before police were called.
The young boy's mum can be seen in the clip telling him to get down as passengers watch on in disbelief after landing at Melbourne Airport in Australia.
She shouts: "Get off now!"
And then: "Get off there now or I'll come get you."
The boy responds: "No you won't."

During the clip, he also grabs someone's suitcase and hurls it off the belt.
An airport staff member then used the speaker system to call for the boy's parents to get him to behave.

While many commenters on TikTok expressed shock at the boy's behaviour, others praised the staff member for how she handled the situation.
