Cops: turnstile jumper armed with gun


NEW YORK—Police in New York City say a man arrested for jumping the turnstile at a PATH train station had gun loaded with hollow-point bullets.

Port Authority spokesman Al Della Fave says Port Authority officers Matt Vogelman and Pat Carroll were on duty at the 14th Street station around 4:30 a.m. Friday when they saw a man jumping the turnstile.

The officers noticed a bulge in the man's waistband. Police say the man tried to flee but the officers grabbed him.

Della Fave says the man had a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets.

The suspect, 36-year-old Rubin Sanabria, was arrested on charges including resisting arrest, weapon possession and theft of service.

Sanabria was awaiting arraignment Friday.

Information on an attorney was not immediately available.
