NEW YORK — Authorities arrested two men Saturday at New York’s Pennsylvania Station and seized a large hunting knife and an illegal firearm with a 30-round magazine in what they described as a “developing threat to the Jewish community.”
Two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the situation said threats about violence to Jewish sites, including “shooting up a synagogue,” were recently made in social media posts, and there was a reference to a violent act occurring Friday. Authorities issued an alert late Friday in which they identified a man they said had made recent threats to synagogues in the New York area.
Sewell said “sharp-eyed” Metropolitan Transportation Authority officers arrested the two while they were entering Penn Station. An investigation led to the recovery of an illegal Glock firearm, the 30-round magazine and several other items, Mueller said. It was not immediately clear where the gun was found or to whom it belonged.
