The man believed to have caused a security breach that resulted in major delays Sunday at Newark Liberty Airport has been arrested.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says 28-year-old Haisong Jiang of Piscataway was taken into custody at 7:30 p.m. Friday at his home.
Further details were not immediately available.
On a surveillance video released Thursday by the Transportation Security Administration and the Port Authority, a man wearing a light-colored jacket ducks under a rope barrier and enters the secure area unseen by a security guard.
The guard is on administrative leave and facing possible disciplinary action.
