Man arrested over note found in Australian airliner toilet
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say a passenger has been arrested after an Australian domestic airliner landed in a regional airport because of a note found near a toilet.
Police would not comment on a report in The Australian newspaper alleging that the passenger wrote on a sick bag that he had stashed a bomb on the Virgin Australia ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop plane that landed safely on Tuesday.
A police statement says, "Police and emergency services went to the airport after receiving information that a note was located in the toiler area of the aircraft."

The passenger had not been charged by late Tuesday.
