Skulstad then got out of his vehicle, approached the MTA vehicle on foot, and banged on the driver-side window until he shattered it.
When Ossining police officers arrived at the scene, Skulstad yelled at an officer, saying, “I’m Jesus Christ! You are going to die today! Are you ready to die?” He then charged a police vehicle, throwing his body into the driver-side door and yelling threats at an officer inside.
The accused resisted officers’ attempts to subdue him, before ultimately being taken into custody.
FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney Jr. said, “Skulstad’s alleged targeting of an MTA vehicle, and the subsequent actions he took against police officers who arrived on scene, remind us of the threat our public servants face each and every day as they uphold their duty to protect the communities they serve. Thanks to the work of the FBI’s JTTFs and our many partners in this case, Skulstad no longer poses a threat to society or, more specifically, those he included as targets on his list.”
