A man drove his car into the lobby of Trump Plaza in New Rochelle, New York, injuring several people, then got out and sat on a couch amidst the shattered glass as if nothing had happened.
The driver plowed a black sedan through the front of the 40-story luxury residence about a half hour drive north of New York City on Tuesday night, causing major damage to the building and several injuries, according to initial reports.

In another video, taken a few minutes later, the scene has calmed down a bit. “That’s one way to make an entrance,” a man can be heard saying. “You guys couldn’t show him where the garage was?”
