An Ohio man was busted with an AK-47 assault rifle and a gas mask inside a Times Square subway station Friday afternoon, law enforcement sources said.
The 18-year-old, whose identity was not immediately released, was taken into custody without incident around 12:30 p.m. on the mezzanine level of the subway station off the A, C and E line, the sources said.
Sources say the teen was sitting down and charging his cell phone inside the station with the weapon out next to him in plain sight when uniformed transit cops spotted him.
Moments earlier the teen had pulled the firearm from a bag, sources said.
The AK-47 was unloaded, but the teen had a fully loaded magazine in his backpack, along with the gas mask, according to the sources.
He told police that he thought carrying an unloaded rifle with the ammunition stored separately is legal in New York City, a high-ranking police source said.
Authorities brought the teen to the NYPD’s Transit District 1 where they were questioning him, sources said.
Straphangers were stunned by the news that someone was armed with an assault weapon inside the busy station.
“Oh my God,” A train rider Victoria Campos, 36, of New Jersey said. “In New York it’s not safe anymore.”
“Maybe they have to put a metal detector here when people are walking,” she added.
