The unidentified
18-year-old man was detained at the bus terminal in Times Square
after he asked another man if he wanted to "off some cops" and
said he had a gun in his bag, ABC News reported.
The second man informed police about the threat, and officers
said they found a .38 caliber firearm in the teenager's bag, the
broadcaster said.
Police across the United States have been on high alert since
eight officers were shot dead in ambushes in Dallas and Baton
Rouge, Louisiana in July.
The Florida man was charged with making a terroristic threat,
illegal possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of
marijuana, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey told
ABC News.
