A man, who reportedly had a plane ticket, allegedly ran out the security door at the Bradley West terminal building onto the tarmac, per the Airline Videos X page.

Airport police teams quickly intervened and reportedly used minor force to detain the passenger.

The incident unfolded as a Singapore Airlines jet was taxiing on the airfield, according to the footage.

A man could be seen sprinting next to the jumbo plane.

Meanwhile, an American Airlines plane was heading in the opposite direction.

The video panned to the officers at the scene who had detained the man.

Cops were seen bundling the passenger into one of the cars.

The U.S. Sun has approached Los Angeles Airport Police for comment.

It's not known if the man has been charged with any offense.

The dramatic moment comes just years after a woman tried to wave down a plane at the airport.

She was taken away by airport workers as she tried to walk closer to the aircraft.

An eyewitness claimed the woman tried to run out of the exit in a bid to stop the plane.

Los Angeles Airport is among the busiest in the US and the world.
