On April 7, a man became disruptive on a packed AirTrain car at the JFK Terminal 4 station, producing a box cutter and attempting to menace and stab multiple passengers. He exited the train, returned and continued threatening riders before fleeing.
Port Authority police officers canvassed the AirTrain system and received additional reports from victims indicating the suspect had also threatened them with the weapon. Officers located the individual at the Federal Circle Station and took him into custody. A box cutter and a quantity of narcotics were recovered following the arrest.
Officers involved in the apprehension were Grant Shannon, Ramel Joseph, Sevastianos Papasevastos, John Devins and Nicholas Delgado.
Outstanding work by the PAPD JFK Command police officers.
