TERMINAL 4 of New York's JFK airport has reportedly been evacuated as police warn of a 'security incident' on the Fourth of July weekend.
Police in an armored vehicle were seen responding to the scene on Sunday afternoon. JFK announced on Twitter that "arrivals and departure levels at Terminal 4 remain closed to inbound traffic."
The airport's official Twitter account posted: "PAPD is currently investigating a security incident in Terminal 4.
"Please expect traffic delays and allow extra time for travel. Thank you for your patience."
Travellers posted images on Twitter of crowds of people outside the terminal building, claiming that the complex had been evacuated.
Officials have yet to confirm whether the whole of the terminal building has been evacuated, or just an area of it.
The Sun reached out to the Port Authority Police Department at JFK but they would not give a comment at this time.
NYDP has no updates as of yet either besides the fact that Port Authority Police are responding to the incident.
The reported evacuation will impact travel on Fourth of July weekend as the country was already experiencing heavy flight delay.
