Police: Arsenal of guns found in Queens man’s apartment

NEW YORK (AP) - New York City police say they discovered a cache of weapons at a Queens apartment when they responded to a hysterical man’s 911 call.

Police responded Sunday morning to a call from a man who said there was an armed assailant in his home. Police say arriving officers found the man hiding in a bathroom, armed with multiple guns. Investigators say police found a cache of weapons in the basement apartment that included hand guns, rifles, ammunition and fireworks.

Police say the man was laughing hysterically and told officers he had been drinking and taking pills. The man was taken Queens General Hospital for an evaluation.

Charges are pending.
