An Arabic-speaking man who wielded a knife and made bomb threats at Brisbane International Airport on Saturday night has been charged.
Police allege the 50-year-old Surfers Paradise man contravened a domestic violence order, stalked with a weapon, stole and seriously assaulted police.
He's also facing charges of pretending to plan to damage or destroy a government-owned air facility, making a bomb hoax, and common assault.
Terrified screams echoed throughout the departures terminal of the airport as a woman was chased by the man, who was allegedly holding the knife.
The man's wife, mother-in-law and two children were reportedly planning to leave Brisbane when the incident unfolded.
A 50-year-old man, from Surfers Paradise, has been charged after allegedly claiming to have a bomb at Brisbane International Airport and allegedly threatening a woman with a knife
A woman wearing a hijab could be heard screaming for help as a man chased her, Boon Heng Ong told the Courier Mail.
'They were heading towards outside the airport, and then he just pulled out the knife. It was quite big, 15-20 cm,' they alleged.
'He stopped running and turned around and walked back to a table in the food court. He grabbed something out of his luggage. It was a black box like a small toolbox.'
The man was recorded by fearful onlookers holding a metal box with exposed wiring. He had allegedly claimed to be carrying a bomb.
Travellers had to flee as police evacuated the building, forcing flights and connecting trains to come to a sudden halt.
Australian Federal Police and Queensland police stormed the airport about 10.15pm as an emergency situation was declared.
The airport was evacuated and trains were halted after police declared an emergency situation, which ended at 11pm

After the airport was evacuated, officers examined the suspicious device the man had allegedly claimed was a bomb, but found it to be non-suspicious.
The exclusion zone was revoked at 11pm, but police then closed off the Bruce Bishop Carpark in Surfers Paradise just after midnight as a precaution.
The man had reportedly made threats about the carpark, which reopened at 1.45am.
A police officer at the scene told the Courier Mail there was a vehicle linked to him in the carpark, and he appeared to have had 'some sort of detonator'.
The man, an Australian resident who is believed to be from the Middle East, was taken into custody from the airport after he was shot with a beanbag round.
He was not seriously injured.
Brisbane Airport said in a tweet: 'The Australian Federal Police is managing the incident and we hope to get back to normal operations as soon as possible'
During a press conference, Superintendent Tony Fleming said it was a 'domestic incident' and not terror-related.
He said there was concern that the man had an explosive device – however, that was not the case.
'There is absolutely no evidence that this is a matter related to terrorism.'
Superintendent Fleming said people who are known to the man were giving evidence.
'This has been quite a dramatic to those people.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
