Man Threatening Cops Over NYPD Radio Returns: Report
A man who is apparently in possession of an NYPD radio is back to threatening officers again after staying silent for weeks.
MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A man making direct threats over police radios to NYPD officers is back at it, according to a report.
The news first surfaced on July 31 when CBS reported a man was threatening police officers in the Midtown South precinct over a secure police radio channel. The person returned to making threats this weekend, according to the New York Post. And they were very similar in nature.
The man directly told a captain he would "put a bullet" in the officer's head in July, and repeated the phrase more vaguely this Saturday evening. The Post reports a man again radioed the Midtown South precinct and said "I will put a bullet in your head" over an NYPD channel at about 8 p.m. on Saturday.
