A suicidal man brought cyanide into a Bronx police station and was hit with weapons charges after admitting he stockpiled guns in a U-Haul found near his home last year, sources said.
Jonathan Norling’s rented van was found last September on the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Inside the van — which was parked in front of a hydrant for several days at 350 Walton Ave. — the 22-year-old had stored a 9mm handgun, an AR-15 assault rifle and ammo, sources said.
Norling was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of an assault rifle and criminal possession of an ammo clip.
The Swedish national first came to the attention of cops when he went into the 49th Precinct station house in Morris Park Friday with a jar of cyanide.
“[He] said that he wanted to kill himself using the cyanide. The detectives sat down with him and started interviewing him. He told them that he made the cyanide from reading about it on the Internet,” a police source told The Post.
“He was full of stories. He said he was connected to a terrorist. The Joint Terrorism Task Force came in to interview him,” the source said.
“They found nothing. He said he cracked into Citibank’s computer system as a juvenile in some identity-theft case. There was no evidence of that either,” the source added.
After cops tested the substance and determined it was really cyanide, Norling was charged with possession of a noxious substance and placed in Bellevue Hospital, sources said.
Norling added to the mystery on Wednesday, when he told cops he had the deadly toxin abrin in his home. The declaration prompted a massive police response at the building.
Cops found several lipstick-sized vials at Norling’s Cruger Avenue address, law-enforcement sources said.
Cops were analyzing the evidence Thursday and were unsure if it contained any toxins, sources said.
During the search, Norling’s wife, Senegal native Mdene Ndnaye, 24, and their year-old daughter, Fatima, were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital for observation.
Neighbors described Norling as quiet.
“He never talks. He never smiles or says hello. He isn’t friendly,” said a woman who lives a floor below Norling.
“I’m just happy it didn’t escalate to a point where we got sick,” said a relieved Raymond Ladeveze, 23.
