(Michigan Radio) -

Authorities at Detroit Metro Airport had to shutdown security screening this morning after a man walked thru the screening area without being fully checked.

The incident happened at 7:51am. The man allegedly walked through the TSA screening area, ignoring repeated orders to stop, and proceeded into the main terminal.

An airport spokesman says the man was quickly arrested. The unidentified man did not have a boarding pass or luggage.

The security breach forced the rescreening of a small number of passengers.

The airport's security screening was shut down for 50 minutes.
