AN unruly passenger has forced a Virgin Australia flight to be held on the runway at Bali, as Indonesian police get involved.
A Virgin Australia spokesman discounted earlier reports of a hijacking, and said there had rather been a drunken passenger or a medical emergency.

"We're still trying to get to the bottom of what happened, but the plane has landed safely at Denpasar," he said.
A spokesman for the Indonesian military, Major General Fuad Basya, earlier said:
"We are now trying to have communications with the airplane but are still unable to do so. The airplane is now at one end of the runway," he said.
