Man Apprehended After Chase on Heathrow Tarmac, Airport Operates Normally

A man was filmed running across the tarmac at Heathrow Airport near Terminal 2, evading airport staff who chased him for about one-and-a-half minutes while planes were landing nearby. The pursuit ended when a van arrived and two men in high-visibility vests apprehended the individual, who was then pinned to the ground and taken into police custody. The incident caused some concern among plane spotters who questioned the safety and security implications of a person running on an active airfield near moving aircraft. Heathrow Airport officials stated that the individual had accessed the airfield taxiway unauthorized but was quickly removed, and normal airport operations continued without disruption. Multiple sources confirmed the event was captured on video and live-streamed, drawing public attention to the unusual security breach. Authorities are treating the matter seriously but assured passengers that travel was unaffected.
