New York police said an Uzi was the highlight of a weekend gun buyback program in the Bronx.

The buyback events generally collect junkers and Saturday Night Specials, but one fellow came in with the high-powered Israeli submachine gun immortalized as Tony Montana's "little friend" in the crime movie "Scarface."

"Any day that you get an Uzi off the streets of The Bronx is a good day," Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz told the New York Post.

A source told the Post the Uzi was one of 354 firearms collected at three churches in response to an uptick in shootings in the area.
