A man was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday after breaching a fence and leading police on a pursuit.
The man, driving a silver four-door car with what appeared to be the letters “SOS” written on the hood, breached a fence at the FedEx cargo facility near the 5900 block of West Imperial Highway, according to reports from the scene.
“Airport police and operations have inspected the south airfield following police activity that briefly closed the south runways. One south runway has reopened and the other will open shortly,” read a tweet from LAX Airport. “The north runways continued operating normally.”
The man led police on a brief pursuit on the runway before being taken into custody. The man’s name was not immediately released.
A portion of the runway was closed as Los Angeles Airport Police officers investigated the breach, CBS2 reported. The chase reportedly traversed two runways.
