A middle-aged foreign man crying at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport attracted the attention of many curious passengers on Sunday.

The incident took place in the afternoon when the man, an Australian, suddenly squatted and began crying after he passed through the airport's security checks.

The man later explained he suffered from flight phobia and would usually cry before he boarded a flight.

After being consoled by the security guards and his friends, the man finally boarded the plane.
