BART police arrested a man on Christmas Eve after he boarded a Richmond-bound train with an AR-15-style rifle and was "bothering other passengers."

Authorities say Archie Hansbury of Oakland was carrying this pistol inside his pants Sunday while aboard a Richmond-bound train.

Officers intercepted the train after an operator reported Hansbury was bothering other passengers.

BART police arrested Hansbury and transported him to Santa Rita Jail.
