An aspiring DJ verbally abused two crying children during a Jetstar flight safety demonstration in scenes so disturbing the plane turned back on the runway and a traumatized flight attendant had to stop work.

Ryan Martin, 25, pleaded guilty on Monday to endangering the safety of an aircraft after Australian Federal Police had to forcibly remove him from flight JQ402 at Sydney Airport on Saturday, September 16.

Martin, who works at a tobacconist, was on a flight home to the Gold Coast after visiting Sydney for a DJ gig when he suddenly began threatening and swearing at several children on board, court documents show.

The sighting or confrontation caused a delay of more than two hours for passengers as police were called to the scene and the ‘traumatised’ air hostess, who initially tried to intervene, went home and had to be replaced.

Court documents obtained exclusively by Daily Mail Australia reveal Martin’s appalling – and unprovoked – behavior on board.

According to police affidavits, the plane was taxiing around the tarmac and preparing for takeoff when Martin, ‘for some unknown reason’, began swearing at a crying toddler sitting next to their mother six rows in front of him.

At the time, airline staff were in the middle of an in-flight safety demonstration but were forced to stop because Martin was ‘swearing profusely’ and being ‘aggressive’.

The customer service manager approached Martin and tried to intervene, but Martin continued to verbally abuse the child and mother.

Amidst the commotion, another child sitting next to their mother in the row directly in front of Martin began to cry.

Martin then turned his attention to that mother and child, launching a second round of abuse.

Concerned for the plane’s safety, the pilot turned the plane back onto the runway and returned to the terminal, where AFP officers boarded and asked Martin to leave.

But he refused to get off the plane, with footage showing Martin declaring: “I’m not going anywhere, I’ve got work for six hours on the Gold Coast.”

Officers had to remove Martin’s seat belt and drag him away as he protested, “Get your hands off me, I’m going to get up (on my own). This is bullying. Get off me. I’m going to walk.

The saga lasted about 30 minutes, with all passengers then forced to disembark.

The flight’s “distressed” customer service manager was removed from duty for the flight and replaced by an on-call manager.

Martin was taken to Mascot Police Station where he was charged over the incident.

Appearing in Sydney’s Downing Center Magistrates’ Court on Monday, Martin, who has no previous criminal record in NSW, escaped conviction, with Magistrate Ian Guy instead slapping him with a $500 fine and a two-year good behavior bond.

Daily Mail Australia understands Martin has also been banned from flying with Jetstar or Qantas for 18 months.

Witnesses previously claimed they heard Martin shouting at the mother and threatening to ‘get her’ after the plane landed in Queensland.

Martin, who has a social media page dedicated to his DJ pursuits under the stage name ‘MVRTO’ where he describes himself as an ‘entrepreneur’, admitted to Daily Mail Australia last month what he said it was ‘on this line’.

However, he claimed the situation was ‘blown out of proportion’.

The maximum penalty for endangering the safety of an aircraft is 10 years in prison.

Martin declined to comment further when Daily Mail Australia asked him on Thursday if he was sorry for what happened.
