Fortunately, only a "plane scare", according to CNN. The flight number was BA209 and the aircraft type a Boeing 747. It seems the plane somehow missed a turn after landing and struck runway lights, but it was pushed back into the runway, and it taxied to the gate, where passengers disembarked with no problems.

 

Thank God, a scare only.
