The individual was also overheard discussing the gun with others, according to a statement posted to the department's Facebook page Thursday morning.

Police said the responding officers identified a 15-year-old New Haven boy in possession of an imitation Glock handgun.

The teen was issued a summons on-scene for breach of peace and carrying a facsimile firearm before being released into the custody of his father, the Facebook post said.
