A manhunt has been launched after a suspected ‘targeted attack’ on the FBI building in Pennsylvania.
A man is suspected of driving a car into the metal gate at the FBI Building in Pittsburgh early on Wednesday morning, ABC News reports.
The suspect, who the FBI identified as Donald Henson, from Penn Hills,fled the scene after a vehicle crashed into the security gate.
Christopher Giordano, the FBI’s Pittsburgh assistant special agent, claimed the suspect grabbed a US flag from the vehicle and threw it over the gate after crashing.
He said: ‘We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI.
‘This was a targeted attack on this building.’
The agents found a message scribbled on one of the car windows, CBS News reports.
Footage from the scene shows a white Toyota with its hazard lights on in front of the partially collapsed gate, with the American flag hanging off it.
The suspect fled the scene after crashing at about 2.40am local time, and he is believed to be dangerous.
The FBI said it is unclear whether Henson was armed.
A bomb squad was alerted to the scene to investigate the vehicle.
