A man stopped by police as he tried to walk into a Bronx subway tunnel was caught with a machine gun, police said Wednesday.
NYPD cops on patrol spotted the suspect walking past a “no trespassing” sign toward the entrance to a northbound tunnel in the Kingsbridge Road subway stop for the B and D lines about 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, police said.
When 21-year-old Abraham Sosa was stopped he got angry, and as the cops moved in to arrest him he fought back.
During the struggle, the machine gun fell from a bag he was carrying, police said. In the bag was a loaded magazine and and another gun part, according to cops.
According to a police source, Sosa told cops he was carrying the machine gun because he didn’t want his mother to find it, and that his mother had threatened to throw him out of the house if she ever caught him with a gun.
Sosa, who has two prior arrests, was charged with several gun charges, including possession of a machine gun and ammunition — 25 bullets — as well as assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and criminal trespass, police said.
