According to reports, all trains to baggage claim and gates were stopped, and passengers were not allowed to deplane or board.

One flyer quickly took to Twitter and wrote: "What’s up at the Denver Airport? Boarding stopped. Deplaning stopped. Security stopped. Trains stopped. Not normal. But hopefully nothing."

Another passenger said: "Stuck on a plane at #denverairport and all flights have stopped boarding on or off…all they will say is there is a security issue."

Video from inside the airport showed trains standing on the station with the doors open as a line of passengers waited to board.

In a statement issued on Twitter, the airport said an individual descended the escalators in the arrivals area and bypassed security.
