Video showed a man being handcuffed and taken into custody at the Chicago Auto Show Sunday after police said someone reported a "person with a gun" at the event.
Chicago police said officers were called just after 6 p.m. to the 2400 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive for a "person with a gun call." Once there, they recovered a firearm from a man at the scene and placed him into custody.
A spokesperson for the auto show said an off-duty officer employed by the event was responding to a call of a "reportedly intoxicated attendee who was disruptive with an exhibitor representative."
The man attempted to flee and the guard noticed he had a gun and "pursued him to the ground," the spokesperson said. An auto show security official then confiscated the firearm and handcuffed the man, holding him until help arrived.
