Marina Marrico, WTTG-TV/FOX5:

Four people were injured after witnesses said a man rammed his SUV repeatedly into a Silver Diner restaurant in Tysons Corner. But quick action by employees put an end to the terrifying scene.

In just seconds, workers at the restaurant rushed to try and stop the driver of the Hummer.

“All of a sudden, this guy just whammed into the building,” said Janey Watkins.

Silver Diner confirmed the man allegedly behind the wheel was a cook at the restaurant and had been out on bereavement leave for nearly a month.

“He was fighting,” said Watkins. “He said, ‘Get away from me. Leave me alone. Leave me alone.’”

Workers brought out a knife and cut his seat belt loose before dragging the driver out of the burning car.
