The closure caused traffic in the city centre and bus routes had to be diverted while police worked at the scene.
A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "British Transport Police were called to the line in Leeds at 5.47am today (6 April) following concerns for the welfare of a woman.
"Officers attended and the woman was taken to a place of safety at just after 7am before being detained under the Mental Health Act."
