The teen then fished out weapons including a submachine gun, plus ammo, from the River Pool in Catford, South East London.
Ryan said: “We were at river view walk where we regularly go with our children, and my sons were playing with a 15-year-old boy, James, when he slipped on which appeared to be a magazine from a gun.
“He then started to search around in the water, and then one after the other he started to pull out everything.”
“I contacted the police, who retrieved the weapons and will be sweeping the river for any more.”
