He then reportedly returned the gun to his waistband.
When police approached told him to show his hands, they said he took off running. A civilian tripped Fiorenza, his gun fell out of his waistband, and officers retrieved the weapon and took Fiorenza into custody.
The 21-year-old Rochester man faces charges of 2nd degree assault with a dangerous weapon, felon in possession of a firearm, and fleeing police on foot.
Fiorenza is also facing charges after a fight broke out after an RCTC football game in October 2021.
