BROOKLYN — An off-duty EMT was arrested Thursday morning for weapons possession and investigators are analyzing two potential explosive devices found in his Brooklyn home, police said. 

Victor Cadicamo, 29, was taken into custody after police responded to a domestic dispute call involving him and his wife at their Coney Island apartment about 9:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the NYPD.

Responding officers found firearms in the apartment at Coney Island Avenue and Brighton 10th Terrace and were told of possible explosive devices, police said.

The bomb squad went to the apartment after Cadicamo's arrest and removed the items, which were still being examined Thursday evening.

The 29-year-old EMT was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and harassment.

It was not immediately clear how long Cadicamo had been with the FDNY and if he had ever faced disciplinary action.
