Two Bridgeport men were arrested after one of them pulled out a gun at a Stratford gym, police say.
It happened at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Esporta Fitness. Police say Emmanuel Rivera, 21, pulled out a gun and pointed it at another person following an altercation.
Rivera was immediately taken into custody as he tried to flee the scene.
As officers arrived on scene, Khyree Brown, 21, fled the scene and took the firearm. He was later taken into custody at the Reybestos Property adjacent to Frog Pond Lane.
Police found the firearm, a Glock pistol with the serial numbers removed, when Brown was arrested.
Both face several charges including carrying a pistol without a permit, altering a firearm and interfering with an officer. They are expected to appear in court on May 12.
