A man with an extensive criminal record allegedly planted an explosive device at New York City’s bustling Port Authority Bus Terminal during rush hour on Wednesday.

The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ) said several officers responded to a report of a suspicious bag at Deli Plus, an eatery inside the bus station, at 5:18 p.m. The deli caters to commuters in the south wing of the terminal’s main concourse, which is located one block from Times Square.

Arsenio Mason, 39, a resident of Jersey City, N.J., was arrested at 8 p.m. — roughly three hours after the officers first responded. He was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, possession of burglary tools and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

And this POS will be back on the street ASAP. One strike with intent to harm and you are out should be the rule.

“A K-9 unit inspected the bag, described as a suitcase, and officers brought it to a police desk within the transportation hub for further inspection. Upon opening the bag, police found a knife, bolt cutters, screwdrivers and a possible improvised explosive device (IED).

“The New York Police Department (NYPD) Bomb Squad was called to the bus terminal to retrieve the device for further analysis, and it was later identified as a possible “flash bang grenade,” according to PANYNJ.

So he was a run-of-the-mill criminal who carelessly left a bag with his burglary equipment at the bus station.

He really doesn’t look smart enough to build an explosive device.
