MANHATTAN — The NYPD is on heightened alert after a suspect reportedly taunted police officers through their own radio frequencies.
Investigators believe the man may be using a lost or stolen NYPD radio device.
In the audio, the unknown suspect threatens to kill the Captain of the Midtown Manhattan South Precinct.
WABC reported: “The suspect then asked over the radio if the captain remembered throwing him in jail, and said he was now coming to put a bullet in the captain’s head. He also claimed he was standing next to a strategic response vehicle in Times Square, and challenged the Sergeant to come find him. Minutes later, the suspect said he was inside the Walgreens at Times Square, but searches found nothing.”
The investigation continues.
