A 53-year-old man from Lancaster has been taken into custody after falsely telling a woman that there was a bomb on the train they were both riding on.

The incident occurred just after noon on Tuesday when the man told a woman he was next to that there was a bomb aboard the commuter train. The woman promptly informed the conductor of the train, who in turn called the police.

Upon arriving at the Burbank station, the Metrolink train was detained for 90 minutes while police officers and bomb sniffing dogs inspected it for any signs of an explosive device on board. They did not find any.

"They did a full sweep on the train, and everything was clear," said Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten. "I'm glad that everything is OK and our passengers are safe and secure. That's our No. 1 priority."

The bomb scare caused quite a commotion as both the train, the train station, Front St., and the Olive St. overpass all had to be evacuated while authorities search the train for any bombs. Other Metrolink train schedules were also delayed during and after the search was being performed.

The man was taken into custody after authorities found that he had a warrant out for his arrest. It is unknown what the warrant was for at this time.

The bomb threat near Burbank comes one day after the tragic bombing of the Boston Marathon right by the finish line on Monday. Three people were killed in that attack and over 180 more had to go to the hospital with varying injuries. No suspects have been brought in for questioning at this time.

"In this day and age, especially with what happened (in Boston), no one should be joking around about an explosive device," Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn said.
