ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) \u2014 A disoriented man slowly drove his car through doors Friday at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, alarming morning travelers inside a busy terminal but causing no major injuries, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The 67-year-driver was immediately arrested when the SUV stopped, said Tadarial Sturdivant, vice president of emergency and support services.<\/p>\n
The man seemed \u201cvery disoriented\u201d and said he was there to meet actor Tom Cruise and \u201cto save his dad,\u201d Sturdivant said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is hard for me to put semblance behind it,\u201d Sturdivant said. <\/p>\n
A woman trying to avoid the vehicle declined treatment for a possible leg injury, he said.<\/p>\n
Sturdivant said the car was traveling the wrong way in front of the Evans Terminal and was able to squeeze between concrete barriers near the entrance.<\/p>\n
He said gaps between the barriers are required under federal regulations. The suburban Detroit airport, he added, is working on a redesign.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was scary, man, like, we didn\u2019t know what to do,\u201d Sedeq Arshuhtpi, who works at the airport, told WDIV-TV. \u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s inside that car. There\u2019s a lot of people around. There could be a threat, so everybody was nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n
In January, a man drove his car at a high rate of speed into the airport\u2019s McNamara Terminal. The driver emerged from the vehicle yelling incoherently and was arrested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
