MIDTOWN — A Baruch College student was arrested after walking into Trump Tower with fireworks and weapons Monday evening, according to the NYPD.
Alexander Wang, 19, was busted at about 6:35 p.m. after Secret Service agents check his backpack and found a knife, handcuffs, water pistol, M100 firecracker and a garrote, which is used to strangle a person, an NYPD spokesman said.
The student told officers, “I always walk with them,” according to the New York Post, which first reported the story.
He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of fireworks.
Wang had not been arraigned by Tuesday afternoon and may be given a desk appearance ticket, sources said.
A Baruch College spokeswoman said the school would "cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies as needed" and did not have any further information about the student.
