ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Altamonte Springs police say a 19-year-old driver was trying to kill himself when he drove his car through the Altamonte Mall. The driver not only busted a perfume stand and broke a lot of glass, he ended up landing near the food court of the mall, on the east Central Parkway entrance to the mall.

The mall opened for business Tuesday morning after the car smashed through the mall's front doors the night before.

According to the Altamonte Springs Police Department, 19-year-old Adam Soloman Kahin, of Longwood, intentionally drove his red Mitsubishi into the northwest side of the mall in an attempt to commit suicide.

Police said Kahin accelerated down the corridor and crashed through the Ero's Perfume stand and into the escalator, dropping to the lower level of the mall. Kahin had to be extricated from the vehicle, police said, by the Seminole County Fire Department and was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with minor injuries.

"I feared for my life. It was 10:30. The car comes through the mall and lands on the first floor," said eyewitness Bill Walls.

Isaac Rivera, who works at T-Mobile in the mall, couldn't believe what had just occurred. After the car crashed through the front doors on the second floor, it traveled down the corridor, hit the perfume kiosk, hit the escalator and then the car plummeted to the first floor.

"I heard this screeching, scratching and a crashing car coming down middle of the mall," said Rivera, who was getting a cup of coffee in the food court.

Rivera managed to roll some video on his cell phone right after the accident.

"You can see the kiosk. It hit the escalator and landed in front of Radio Shack. Everyone was asking if he's okay," Rivera explained. "I felt like I was in a movie, surreal, unreal," Rivera added.

According to police, Kahin made statements that he wanted to commit suicide. He was Baker-acted and will be held for 72 hours for a psychiatric evaluation.

Police said Kahin will also be charged with criminal mischief and culpable negligence, pending the conclusion of the investigation. There were no other injuries and approximately $100,000 damage to the mall and $5,000 to Ero's Perfume.
