Man Calling Himself 'Jesus Christ' Destroys MTA Vehicle: Feds
Police said the man asked responding officers if they were ready to die.
DOBBS FERRY, NY — A Westchester County man was arrested after being accused of destroying an occupied MTA vehicle and threatening police officers who responded to the scene.
Audrey Strauss, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Nicholas Skulstad, 33, of Dobbs Ferry, was taken into federal custody Thursday based on a criminal complaint charging him with destruction of a motor vehicle employed in interstate commerce.
Strauss said Skulstad used his vehicle as a weapon, repeatedly ramming it into an occupied MTA vehicle, then shattering the driver's window.
"When police officers responded, Skulstad allegedly charged at and threatened them, and had in his car a notebook page titled 'List — To Kill,' with the names of public figures," she said. "Thanks to the combined response of law enforcement officers and agents, Skulstad is in custody and facing a serious federal charge."
According to prosecutors, on April 5, Skulstad rammed his car repeatedly into an MTA vehicle driven by an MTA employee in Ossining, damaging the MTA vehicle and forcing it off the road.
