Bicyclist, not "biker". A Tec-9 in one's pants while riding a bicycle must be pretty uncomfortable. The Tec-9 isn't a "machine gun" but perhaps the one he was carrying was converted to full auto.

I guess "biker with machine gun" gets a lot more attention than "bicyclist with crappy handgun".

As three men on bikes rode past two plainclothes Jersey City cops heading west on Wegman Parkway at about 5 p.m. Saturday, the cops noticed something strange sticking out above one of the rider's pants legs, according to reports: the butt of a gun.

The cops, members of the department's Violent Crime Unit, yelled, "Police," and told the riders to stop, but the bikers pedaled north on Martin Luther King Drive to Bidwell Avenue, reports said.

The cops gave chase in their unmarked car, reports said.

The three bikers split up, so the cops stuck with the rider they suspected of carrying the weapon, who was later identified as 19-year-old Anthony Washington of Ocean Avenue, reports said.

At Bidwell and Martin Luther King Drive they saw Washington pull a Tec-9mm machine gun from his waist and toss it on the ground, reports said.

Washington also dropped his bike and ran, but backup cops caught up to him and arrested him on the porch of a Wegman Parkway building, reports said.

Found on the ground where Washington left it, the machine gun was loaded with nine hollow point bullets, reports said.

Washington was charged with, among other things, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, prohibited weapons and devices (the so-called Dum-Dum bullets) and resisting arrest, reports said.

Now and then I do give credit when credit is due - good job to the cop with the eagle eye.
