B757-200 CREW ALMOST HIT A MAN RUNNING ACROSS THE RWY ON RWY 35 AT SEQU.

Narrative

PERSON RAN IN FRONT OF ACFT ON ROTATION. ABOUT THE TIME THE CAPT CALLED V1; I SAW SOMETHING RUNNING L TO R ACROSS THE RWY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME SORT OF ANIMAL. WHEN VR WAS CALLED; I STARTED TO ROTATE. AT THAT TIME; I REALIZED IT WAS A PERSON RUNNING ACROSS THE RWY. I SHOUTED; 'IT'S A PERSON;' AND PULLED BACK MORE ON THE CTLS TO TRY AND MISS HIM; AS WE WENT OVER THE TOP OF HIM; I COULD SEE HIS FACE AND WHAT COLOR HIS SHIRT WAS. HE APPEARED TO GO UNDER US ABOUT WHERE THE R ENG AND R MAIN GEAR ARE. WE DIDN'T FEEL ANY BUMPS TO INDICATE WE HAD HIT HIM; BUT IT WAS CLOSE. AFTER THAT; WE NOTIFIED THE TWR THAT SOMEONE HAD RUN IN FRONT OF US ON THE RWY. ALSO CALLED COMPANY AND LET THEM KNOW; AND TO NOTIFY US AT DEST IF THERE WAS ANY INDICATION OF SOMEBODY ON THE RWY. OPS AT OUR DEST TOLD US ON LNDG THERE THAT SEQU ARPT OPS HAD CALLED AND SAID NOTHING WAS FOUND. WE DID A THOROUGH WALK AROUND AT OUR DEST AND FOUND NO INDICATION OF HITTING ANYTHING. SOMEONE ON AN ACTIVE RWY IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY THREAT; BUT A SECURITY THREAT. BETTER SECURITY AT THE ARPTS. THE AGENT AT OUR DEST TOLD US THAT 4 OR 5 MONTHS AGO A NAKED MAN WAS ON THE RWY. EQUADOR MIGHT HAVE SOME SECURITY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
