Bomb scare on Schenectady Amtrak train
(The Associated Press circulated the following on June 3.)
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Police closed down a section of Interstate-890 in Schenectady last night after a man at an Amtrak station claimed to have a bomb.
The man also stopped Amtrak train traffic in Schenectady Saturday evening around 8 PM.
Police says the suspect, reported to be an 84-year-old man from Philadelphia, was upset about the train being late and said he had a bomb.
The device actually turned out to be a transistor radio with other wires and not a bomb.
The highway was closed temporarily and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to inspect the train.
The man's name was not immediately available.
