"Cyrus, named after one of the helpers on the scene, will be assessed by a vet following his ordeal," said the animal welfare organisation Wildlife Victoria.
The airport's tarmac is guarded to prevent kangaroos interfering with flights, but the marsupials are relatively free to enter the terminal and surrounding buildings. Earlier this year, a kangaroo hopped into the airport's car park and led police on a chase before it was caught and sedated.
"From where we are located there are kangaroos within the area,'' said airport spokeswoman Anna Gillett.
