Chaos erupted inside Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Friday night when a sedan barreled through the entrance of a busy Terminal, shattering glass and sending travelers and employees scrambling for safety.
According to the New York Post, the crash unfolded around 7:30 p.m. at the McNamara Terminal, where Delta Air Lines workers and passengers were gathered near the ticketing area.
A black sedan blasted through the glass doors and came to a stop amid debris, according to local reports and footage from the scene.
Video circulating on social media shows the vehicle sitting inside the Terminal as startled onlookers watch.
The driver, an unidentified man wearing a Detroit Lions jersey, stepped out of the car with his hands raised, appearing disoriented and speaking incoherently as security officers rushed in.
“The response was so quick thank God with the cops and TSA and everybody,” traveler Ali Khalifa told WXYZ. “That all happened in seconds.”
Nearly a dozen security officers and airport personnel surrounded the man and escorted him away as he continued shouting unintelligibly, according to the footage.
