Man leads police on pursuit on LAX runway

A man was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday, June 24, after breaching a fence and leading police on a pursuit.

The man, driving a 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.

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, CBS2 reported.
