An Ohio teen was found to be in possession of an AK-47 and loaded magazine in the Times Square subway station by New York Police Department officers on Friday.
Saadiq Teague, 18, of Canal Winchester, was arrested and charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree; criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree; and criminal possession in the third degree relating to an ammunition clip, according to CNN. Teague also was charged with criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree.
Teague was sitting in the police station charging his phone with the unloaded gun in front of him. He was also in possession of a gas mask. The police department didn’t immediately know why the teen was carrying the weapon and the loaded magazine.
“This story could’ve had a tragically different ending, but thanks to these diligent cops, it ends with the suspect in handcuffs,” New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea tweeted on Friday.
