NEWARK, N.J. -- A toddler caused quite a scare at Newark Liberty International Airport after getting onto the baggage conveyor belt at the ticketing desk and riding it all the way to the baggage room. It was a shocking and scary situation when a 2-year-old child ended up on a conveyor belt that is meant for luggage.

The two-year-old reportedly slipped behind the JetBlue ticketing counter and hopped onto the conveyor belt luggage system.

Officers reportedly hopped onto a Terminal A luggage conveyor belt to follow the toddler, eventually find the child downstairs in a baggage room.

Newark Liberty International Airport will reopen a runway on Monday that had been under construction and contributed to its recent chaos, as United Airlines (UAL) looks to win back customers who began avoiding the beleaguered airport altogether.

One of the two main runways at Newark Liberty International Airport reopens Monday, 13 days ahead of schedule. The first flights will depart this morning, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be at the airport for a news conference this afternoon.
