Narrative:
I was pm (pilot monitoring) on leg ZZZ to ZZZ1. We received takeoff clearance and subsequently saw red hold lights. The PF (pilot flying) immediately pulled back the power at a very low airspeed and we queried ATC. They cancelled our takeoff clearance and replied they were getting a false target at the departure end.good recognition by the pilot flying. I don't think ATC has any control over that system but perhaps they could provide recommendations as well to eliminate false targets.
