SEPTA Police Arrest Man Impersonating Officer

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - SEPTA Police say a man dressed up like one of its officers, then radioed in a report of a man with a gun.

A SEPTA spokesperson told FOX 29 the suspect bought his own radio, turned it to SEPTA's frequency and made the report.

He was caught a few minutes later, on a SEPTA train.

Police say there was never anyone with a gun, and the suspect now faces several charges.
