Newark Airport 'emergency' sparks evacuation with passengers seen 'screaming and running'

AN "EMERGENCY" at Newark Airport sparked an evacuation with passengers reportedly being seen screaming and running.

Reports emerged that Terminal C was evacuated just after 10.30am.

Images from the scene showed people standing on the side of the street after reportedly being told to leave the building.

"Terminal C evacuated just as I was about to head through TSA," one traveler claimed.

"People screaming, running, falling down steps… some people were mid check-in and are barefoot outside," they added. "100% total chaos."

Other reports claimed that someone shouted "run" before hiding behind a crew desk.

The airport quickly took to Twitter to confirm that the incident was "under control" adding that a customer had exited through a security door.

However, the Port Authority Police Department responded to the scene also.

Just minutes after the airport was evacuated, a police officer told passengers that they could go back inside.
