PIC: File

A flight from Bali to Perth was forced to land in Port Headland last night after two passengers were allegedly acting disruptive on the plane.

Flight crews had to restrain a man due to his erratic behaviour before the plane landed at Port Hedland International Airport around 9.30pm.

South Hedland Police attended the airport and took the 32-year-old French National into custody.

A 29-year-old female French National who was travelling with the man was also detained by police.

The flight continued to Perth, where Australian Federal Police officers spoke to the flight crew and passengers who witnessed the incident.

The two French Nationals remain in police custody in South Hedland and the investigation is ongoing.
