BRONX – Four teenagers were arrested Thursday for hopping on the D-train without paying, and one was caught with a gun stuffed in his pants, police said.

The four teens were spotted by authorities as they entered the subway at Grand Concourse and East Fordham Road without swiping fare cards, police said. One of the boys, a 15-year-old, was found carrying a .22 caliber firearm hidden in his waistband, police said.

The teen, whose name is being witheld by DNAinfo because of his age, is expected to be charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal trespass and intent to fraudulently obtain transportation without payment, police said. His friends, two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old, are also expected to be charged with criminal trespass and fraud, police said.
