near Howard and Centre sts. in downtown Manhattan on Wednesday.

Cops nabbed a man with what appeared to be a sheathed sword after a cop
directing traffic spotted him walking on a downtown Manhattan street.
The unidentified suspect was walking around Howard and Centre streets
when the officer spotted an unusual bulge in his pants shortly after 5
p.m., witnesses said.
When the officer approached, the suspect pulled out a sheathed blade and
ran away, stunned witnesses said. The officer called for backup and
gave chase to the man, who darted into Central Buffet.
