Authorities are investigating after a Russian national who did not have a ticket boarded a Paris-bound Delta flight at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport this week and was arrested when the plane touched down.

The woman boarded Delta Flight No. 264 from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, CBS News learned. She was discovered while the plane was in midair and was taken into custody in Paris.

The individual, who did not have a boarding pass, completed security screening and bypassed two identity verification and boarding status stations to board the aircraft, according to a TSA spokesperson.
