A Jersey City man dressed as a woman was charged with criminal trespass after he hopped a fence at Newark Liberty International Airport Wednesday and wandered across two runways, the NY Post reports.

Siyah Bryant, 24, was on a date when the car he was in ran out of gas on the Turnpike. Bryant’s date decided to call a friend to bring them fuel, which made Bryant feel uncomfortable. He decided to set off on foot at about 4:20 a.m. and allegedly climbed the security fence and walked across two runways before trying to enter Terminal C, the report says.

Bryant was confronted by a United Airlines employee when he reached the terminal, who alerted authorities. He was arrested, checked against the Joint Terrorism Task Force and FBI watch list, issued a summons and released, the report said.

Newark Airport’s $300 million-plus Perimeter Intrusion Detection System is equipped with cameras that watch the airport’s outer fence, which is topped with barbed wire and lined with sensors to detect climbers, the report said. It remains unclear why Bryant was not spotted.

“This is an ongoing investigation,” PAPD chief Louie Koumoutsos told the newspaper. “The PAPD is continuing to review PIDS video and other surveillance methods to determine the circumstances of the incident.”
