ROMULUS (WWJ) -- It's not something you want to see while waiting to board your flight.
A video is going viral on social media, showing what appears to be rats running around inside the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus. [There are several versions of the video circulating. See one here].
"Video taken by a local passenger shows at least two of the rats scurrying about under the chairs at the terminal waiting area," WWJ's Charlie Langton reported. "Now passengers at the airport, they were all freaked out yesterday seeing that video."
An airport spokesperson said they are aware of the incident and are now working with a contractor to address the issue, adding: "The health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority."
This is the second unsettling animal-related issue in the news in connection with Metro Airport this week. In an unrelated incident, U.S. Customs and Border Protection its agents confiscated illegal bushmeat, or wild animal meat, from two different travelers from Africa last month. CBP said 11 pounds of rodent meat and 52 pound of primate meet was found in luggage. [Read more].
