A Canadian citizen attempted to unlawfully enter the United States through the Massena Port of Entry before eventually being detained just inside the village of Massena.

According to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson, the incident occurred on Christmas Day.

"On December 25, 2023, at approximately 10:46 a.m., a vehicle driven by a Canadian citizen attempted to unlawfully enter the United States via the Massena Port of Entry. During this attempt, the driver lost control and rolled their vehicle. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers responded to the scene. The scene was secured and the driver was taken to Massena Memorial Hospital for treatment," the official said in a statement.

CBP officials did not confirm any further details regarding the pursuit of the individual or whether they were attempting to smuggle contraband or illegal migrants into the United States.

However, a  video uploaded to Facebook at 11:08 a.m. on Dec. 25 appears to show the aftermath of the incident. The video can be viewed at www.facebook.com/ernie.kingjr.88/videos/737190104580381

In the video, officers can be seen detaining the driver after the vehicle overturned at the corner of East Orvis Street and Alcoa Road.

Massena village police confirmed the location of the arrest and time from the video were accurate.

In the video, smoke can be seen coming from the overturned vehicle with what appears to be multiple punctured tires as well.

The suspect then appears to resist arrest while multiple officers attempt to handcuff them.

The video has been viewed over 79,000 as of press time.

Massena police say they were not involved in any pursuit of the vehicle but did assist on scene as CBP officers detained the individual.

St. Regis Mohawk Tribal police confirmed they were not involved in any pursuit or arrest related to the incident.

It is unclear if the individual is still detained by CBP in the United States or if they have been sent back to Canada.

An attempt to clarify the detainment status of the individual with CBP officials went unanswered  as of press time.

A request for comment from State police was not immediately returned as of press time.
