... see if the pedestrian was okay. The man slid over to the barricade separating the two roadways, right adjacent to the security checkpoint. Two security officers were standing right there and came over to assess the situation. The man appeared shaken, but there was no blood visible or any other obvious signs of injury thankfully.
