By CBSLA Staff, CBS Los Angeles: LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A woman is undergoing a mental health evaluation Tuesday after being arrested on the tarmac at LAX. The unidentified woman reportedly walked out of a door inside Terminal 1 at about 6:30 p.m. Monday, and onto a ramp, which triggered an alarm. Airline employees kept her from going further onto the tarmac. The woman, who had an airline ticket in her possession, told LAX police she was trying to flag down an aircraft, which was still parked in the gate area. Video posted to social media show she was carrying what appeared to be a backpack and several items in her other arm, and kept trying to walk past airport employees and onto the tarmac.
