Police arrested a man in connection with a bomb threat made from a pay phone in Queens, officials said.
Brian Harrison, 56, has been charged with three counts of filing a false report and three counts of making terroristic threats for allegedly calling 911 and making a bomb threat.
The suspect entered the subway station at Queens Boulevard and 71st Avenue at 9:31 a.m. on Oct. 13 and used a pay phone to say there was a bomb located at Queens Boulevard and Continental Avenue in Forest Hills, police said.
He then entered an elevator and pressed the emergency call button, into which police said he stated “the bomb will go off in 6 minutes and 57 seconds.”
There was no bomb and no one was injured.
