A man with a rucksack has run into the path of an aircraft at Heathrow airport - sparking a major security alert.
He reportedly breached the perimeter fence at 2.30 this afternoon. Armed personnel responded immediately and detained the man on the northern runway. They have recovered a bag. Emergency vehicles are on the scene. No planes have been coming in or out of the airport since the incident. Sky correspondent Mark White said the incident comes ahead of the opening of a new terminal at Heathrow. "Security is tight, especially with what is happening tomorrow morning with the opening of Terminal 5," he said. "Her Majesty the Queen will be in attendance to open it and it will be a big day for BAA." However, he said there was no connection at this stage to recent protests at the airport. "What we know is that it was a lone man and he was carrying a rucksack, which is worrying in itself" he said. "And he was determined to get airside." He added: "The question the police will want to answer, and answer quickly, is what this man was doing airside." Source |
