Accused Stony Brook Hospital ‘bomber’ also had body armor, pickaxe

The man arrested for taking explosives into a Long Island hospital was also armed to the teeth with body armor and a pickaxe, Suffolk police said Thursday.

Images of the lethal haul were released as Suffolk County police led a handcuffed Robert Roden, 33 — who was allegedly busted with three explosives at Stony Brook University Hospital — out of the 7th Precinct in Shirley to a police cruiser Thursday morning.

Wearing a face mask and an American flag T-shirt, Roden stared straight ahead and said nothing when asked why he was carrying the weapons.

Along with the explosives,  which appear to be homemade with black tape, cops allegedly also found a tactical vest and handcuffs in his possession, according to images released by police.

On Tuesday night, Roden was stopped by a hospital security guard who reported him acting suspiciously inside the hospital’s emergency room.

Cops allegedly later found him carrying explosives, and two floors of the hospital were evacuated for several hours.

Roden, of Mastic Beach, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal contempt and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
