A MAN was spotted running across the tarmac at Heathrow Airport near moving aircraft on Sunday before being arrested.
The individual, who was wearing something wide around his waist, was seen running away from at least four other men as he raced across the airport grounds near Terminal 2.

Video footage shared on social media sees the chase go on for around a minute before the man is eventually caught.
The individual appears to stop running as a van, carrying two people in fluorescent tops, arrives.
He can then be seen being escorted away, with a later cut in the clip showing him pinned to the ground.
A few moments after this, a police van can be seen racing across the airport from its eastern end, eventually arriving at the scene.
The man was then put in the back of the vehicle.
A Heathrow spokesperson said: “Working with partners, we have quickly resolved an incident at the airport involving an individual who accessed the airfield taxiway.
“The individual has been removed from the airport.
“The airport continues to operate as normal and passengers are travelling as planned.”
