"I know what this is," he said, approaching the box.

“Everyone’s diving for cover as this guy grabs the package,” one responder told Daily Voice.

A woman coming out of the building spotted the package, which was unidentifiable because its shipping label was inside the box’s slot.

Police who responded were about to take the necessary precautions when the UPS driver pulled up.

“These kinds of things happen sometimes,” one said. “I’m glad we can laugh about it.”
