Teen creates 'disturbance' at Buffalo airport
CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. He shouted "It's time to die" before ripping off his backpack and reaching inside it at an upstate airport. This would be when I'd open fire. |
Now, a teenager faces disorderly conduct charges after causing a disturbance at Buffalo Niagara International Airport last night.
Authorities say the 16-year-old boy (Alif Chowdhury) from Garden City, Long Island was with his father (Ehsan Chowdhury) waiting outside a terminal prior to their flight to J-F-K Airport. Alif, huh? Now there I go, profiling innocent travelers. | Passers-by became suspicious of the youth's behavior and alerted airport police. The teen -- who was dressed in a white robe-like garment -- became agitated while officers questioned his father. Gee, white robe-like garment, now who wears....dammit, there I go again... | Officials say he said he wasn't afraid to die and tried to pull something out of his backpack. And was introduced to the taste of concrete | The officers subdued the youth, who was carrying cell phones in the backpack but nothing dangerous. The teen was taken to a Buffalo hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
