US: Intruder runs onto runway at Los Angeles Airport
Police have arrested a man they say jumped a fence and ran onto a runway at Los Angeles International Airport. Airport police Officer Rob Pedregon says the man was spotted running across the runway at about 1:40 p.m. Monday near a Delta jet that was preparing to take off. A passenger, Chad Ridgely, tweeted that the man started doing pushups before he was arrested. Pedregon say the intruder is a middle-aged homeless man with mental health problems. The officer says he scaled a 10 ½-foot-tall perimeter fence topped with barbed wire with a concrete barrier at the base. The runway was closed about 20 minutes and the plane was given a mechanical check before it was allowed to depart.<br/>
