The police properly detained appellant as a suspected runaway pursuant to Family Court Act § 718, where appellant was observed immediately outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal, was unable to provide identification and did not respond to several of the detaining officer’s questions regarding his presence at the location (see Matter of Terrence G., 109 AD2d 440 [1985]; see also Matter of Giselle F., 272 AD2d 83 [2000]). Ensuing events led to the lawful recovery of a bayonet from appellant’s bag. Concur—Tom, J.P., Friedman, Nardelli and Sweeny, JJ.
