A Russian tourist will not forget about the city's no-drone policy after police ticketed him for flying one in Central Park near the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Police say NYPD cameras spotted the unmanned aircraft near 77th Street and Central Park West just before 11 a.m. Thursday. It was recovered a short time later about three blocks away.

Officers traced the drone to the man and his 14-year-old son.

The man said he didn't know flying a drone in the city is illegal.
