After being instructed to leave the checkpoint, the man grabbed his bag and tried to run through the security scanning device.

Before the man could reach the secure area of the airport terminal, TSA officers blocked his path and escorted him from the checkpoint. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department was called to the scene and arrested the man for having false identification documents.

When the man was finally arrested, officers discovered that he had a 9 mm handgun loaded with three bullets.
