A kangaroo cornered in a Melbourne Airport chemist has been wrangled into a bag by rescuers.


The kangaroo was found at the airport chemist shortly after 9am, browsing in the haircare section.


The kangaroo was photographed by long-haul flight steward Marita Young, of Brighton.


The chemist was locked down as Wildlife Victoria volunteers wrangled the roo into a bag and rescued the animal.


It is not the first time a kangaroo has been found at Melbourne’s busy airport.


In January, tourists were confronted with an eastern grey kangaroo in the multi-level car park.
