BOSTON - A suspicious package triggered evacuations at Terminal A at Boston Logan International Airport Sunday.

The Massachusetts State Police reopened the terminal after clearing a suspicious item inside a bag, later determining it was a degraded Playstation console, according to Boston 25 News.

The outlet reported that the console caused "abnormalities" in the image produced when it was x-rayed.

Videos filmed by Roy Hage outside the airport show emergency vehicles. An alarm sound can be heard.

"Due to recent delays and cancellations, passengers are advised to check with their airline on the status of their flight before coming to the airport," airport officials tweeted.
