Woman caught trying to steal ‘samurai sword’ on flight leaving LaGuardia airport

A woman was caught trying to steal a “samurai sword” from her carry-on luggage at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, authorities said.

The gun was discovered when the woman, who has not been identified, was examining her luggage before her flight on Monday, a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesperson told NBC News.

TSA officers quickly contacted Port Authority Police, who confiscated the large blade.

The agency released a photo of the sword, which has an ornate black handle.

The woman was issued a summons to appear in court later this year, the TSA spokesperson said.

The Post has reached out to the TSA and Port Authority Police for additional information.
