A homeless man was arrested at a train station in Queens after he pulled an air pistol from a bag while talking with police.
Reginald Clark, 45, walked up to Port Authority Police outside the AirTrain at Jamaica Station and put his bag on a turnstile, according to police.
Clark then said, “I have something for you,” and reached into his waistband.
An officer warned him to stop reaching, but he refused and quickly pulled out an air pistol out of his pants, police said.
Officers got the gun away from Clark and arrested him. A bag he was carrying had air pistol rounds in it.
Clark said that he is bi-polar and was off his medication, according to police.
He was taken to Jamaica Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and has been charged with menacing, criminal possession of a weapon and possession of an air pistol.
