The suspect, who police identified as Lezlie Hernandez Zapata, was told that her boarding pass was denied due to her behavior.

When officers started to escort Zapata from the gate to the terminal, she refused to get in the police car and ran away from officers.

As she was running down the airport tarmac, officers caught up to her, pushed her to the ground, and took her into custody.

Police said Zapata was taken to the airport precinct where EMS was requested to evaluate her.
