WATCH the shocking moment a drunk passenger takes an airport golf cart on a destructive joyride after hijacking it.
Kevin Sinning, 29, is accused of commandeering the vehicle and wreaking havoc inside New York’s Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Witnesses filmed the mayhem at just before 1am on Monday morning.
The boozed-up traveller can be seen wobbling around in the driver’s seat of the large cart – fortunately without any passengers in tow.
The footage starts just as he accelerates out of a travelator walkway intended for pedestrians.
A bemused onlooker comments: “I think he’s drunk.”
He then motors on to the end of the terminal room, before completing a clumsy three point turn – using his foot as the reverse.
To nervous chuckles from other passengers, he then scoots back towards the travelator – and decides to take a trip down the other side.
But the cart is too wide – forcing the wheels on one side to ride part way up the wall, and setting the cart on a precarious tilt.
Glass wall panels shatter with loud bangs, and metal sheets crack and pop from the fittings.
Airport workers shout “What is this?!”, and startled passengers whip out their mobiles to film the bonkers drive-by.
Onlookers plead with him to stop.
None of this deters the oblivious driver, however, who steamrolls on along the passageway, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
He wheels off after ploughing through to the end.
Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said Kevin was “visibly intoxicated”.
Witness Tom Brennon told WGRZ people at the scene feared the joyrider could have been armed, so everyone took a “safe step back” until police arrived.
He continued: “You could tell something was not right with him.
“He was not responding to demands from people telling him to stop.
“He was totally disregarding people around him.”
An airport spokesperson told the channel: “We’re very grateful for the swift action of our police officers and also of the onlookers who alerted police.
“These are things we take very seriously. Right now it’s only property damage, but we want to make sure nothing like that can happen again where people get hurt.”
Kevin is facing charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and grand larceny.
