A Queens man who called 911 to report that he was hiding in his bathroom from armed assailants got busted when officers arrived and found a huge cache of weapons in his apartment, police say.
The man called police early Sunday morning and told them that he had taken refuge in his bathroom from attackers who were shooting up his Flushing apartment, according to the NYPD.
When officers arrived at the home on Mulberry Avenue, police say they found the man alone in his apartment surrounded by an arsenal of hand guns, rifles, magazines, ammunition and fireworks.
He was sweating and laughing hysterically, police said, and admitted he had been drinking booze and taking pills.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken to Queens General Hospital.
Charges against him were pending Sunday night.
