Six Flags America near Upper Marlboro was evacuated Saturday afternoon after someone called in a threat, Prince George's County Police say.

The park closed several hours early "out of an abundance of caution" after the threat was called in about 1:30 p.m., police reported on Twitter. Neither police nor the park specified what kind of threat.
