Australian police have stormed a plane at Sydney Airport after a passenger reportedly threatened to detonate a bomb on board a plane.
Passengers have now been allowed to leave the plane, which remains isolated on the runway surrounded by emergency service vehicles.
An Australian Federal Police (AFP) spokesperson said a 45-year-old man has been taken into custody "without incident".
"Passengers have now been evacuated from the aircraft. There is no impending threat to the community," they said.
"The man is expected to be charged later tonight."
The MH122 Airbus-a330 flight to Kuala Lumpur returned to Sydney just before 4pm on Monday (local time) where it was isolated on the tarmac.
A video reportedly taken onboard the flight shows a man with a black backpack telling a member of the flight crew: "My name is Mohammed, slave of Allah."
"Are you a slave of Allah? Are you? Say it. Say it! Are you a slave of Allah?"
The person who posted the video to Twitter said the man "has taken #MH122 hostage".
"Praying for everyone's safety and well-being. Where is airport security?! It's been well over an hour since the plane has landed back!!!" they wrote.
Another video appears to show the man kneeling and praying in the plane aisle.
A passenger told NCA NewsWire the man began threatening people to not "touch his bag".
"He was threatening people that he has a bag," they said.
"He was chanting 'Allah Akbar' and then when staff tried to calm him down he said don't come near him or he will blow the bomb in his bag."
A Sydney Airport spokesperson told Guardian Australia: "We are currently supporting emergency agencies in the management of an incident at the airport."
"The airport is operational with flights arriving and departing. Passengers are encouraged to check directly with their airline regarding the status of their flight," the spokesperson said.
