New York police arrested an 18 year old from Ohio on Friday after officers found him with an AK-47 and a loaded magazine in the Times Square subway station.
Saadiq, from Canal Winchester, Ohio, was charged with several counts of criminal possession of a weapon, including weapon and ammunition charges, along with a drug paraphernalia charge, according to CNN.
Police said he was sitting inside the station charging his phone with the unloaded rifle in front of him. He also had a gas mask. Police did not immediately say why he had the weapon.
“This story could’ve had a tragically different ending, but thanks to these diligent cops, it ends with the suspect in handcuffs,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a tweet on Friday.
He is accused, and a court has not found him guilty of any charge.
