A suspect is in custody after the FBI in Pittsburgh launched a search for the driver of a car that allegedly rammed into its city field office on Wednesday, in what officials have described as an "act of terror."

FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent in Charge Christopher Giordano said in a Wednesday news conference that the bureau was searching for Donald Henson from Penn Hills, a township east of Pittsburgh. The FBI is appealing for information on his whereabouts.

A spokesperson later confirmed to NBC News that the suspect was in custody and was at the FBI Pittsburgh office.

Henson allegedly crashed into the gate, then grabbed an American flag from the vehicle and threw it over the fence before fleeing the scene, Giordano said. There were no injuries.

"We’re hoping by putting his photograph and his name out there, that we will start getting some tips from the public," Giordano said while holding up an image of the suspect. "We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI. This was a targeted attack on this building. Thankfully, no one was hurt."
