NEW YORK --

Officials say a Brooklyn elementary school was evacuated after a man with a gun was reported in the building. No students or teachers were injured, and police have arrested the man.

Police say the man was involved in an armed robbery nearby and ran into the school around 1:50 p.m. Wednesday. He was arrested in the school's third-floor bathroom with a loaded weapon.

Students say police told them to stay inside their classrooms, lock the doors and hide under their desks.

Education officials say all students were taken to a nearby park and parents picked them up there.

Police say the 32-year-old man faces charges of menacing, weapon possession and robbery.

There are almost 1,000 students enrolled in Public School 108, which has grades from kindergarten through fifth.
