Source: BBC

A major security alert is under way at Heathrow airport after a man with a rucksack scaled the perimeter fence and ran into the path of an aircraft.

The incident happened just after 1400 GMT on Heathrow's north runway.

The BBC's Ben Ando said eyewitnesses saw armed police officers surround the man and sniffer dogs sent in to check the rucksack.

A man is understood to have been taken into custody. No-one has been hurt in the incident.

It'd be nice to know that perimeter security was a little better than that, these days.
