BRONX LOCAL NEWS - It was a tense commute for one 18-year-old rider on Friday afternoon when a fellow passenger pulled out a handgun and threatened on the northbound train.

According to police, the incident happened around 4:55 p.m. on November 14, onboard a Number 2 train as it pulled out of the White Plains Road and Pelham Parkway station in the Bronx. The young man was simply taking his seat when an unidentified individual sat beside him. What started as just another subway ride quickly escalated. 

Police say the stranger initiated a verbal dispute with the teen, made an alarming statement, and then displayed a firearm. The gunman did not demand money nor did he injure the passenger.

After showing the weapon, the suspect exited the train at the Nereid Avenue station. He then fled the area on foot, disappearing toward parts unknown before officers could arrive.
