Gun gets tossed out of city bus in front of mayoral campaign office of BP Eric Adams

One of two men quarreling on a bus in Brooklyn Sunday tossed a gun from the vehicle outside of the mayoral campaign office of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in Crown Heights, officials said.

Police said the argument erupted around 1:45 p.m., when one of the feuding men pulled out a firearm, only to drop it on the floor of the bus and bolt, police said.

The other man then picked up the firearm and tried to pawn it off on the bus driver, who refused to take it, police said.

So the man threw it out the bus window right in front of 1022 Nostrand Ave., police said — where Adams has his campaign office.

“Dozens of volunteers and I were inside the office” at the time, Adams’ chief of staff Ryan Lynch tweeted.

“This is the real public safety threat Eric keeps talking about. We must get serious about these guns.”

The bus driver filed a complaint, but there were no arrests, police said.

Adams, a retired NYPD captain, has made gun violence a centerpiece of his mayoral campaign, recently pitching a plan for for police to conduct “spot-check” searches of bus passengers from the South to stem the flow of guns to New York City.
