The Long Island man allegedly behind a series of threats where he described wanting to"shoot up" a Manhattan synagogue admitting to being part of an online white supremacist group, prosecutors said in court documents.
Law enforcement officials declared Saturday the arrests of two New York men at Penn Station prevented a"developing threat" to the Jewish community. Christopher Brown and Matthew Mahrer were stopped at the bustling transit hub late Friday, hours after Brown had been identified by authorities for allegedly posting a series of threats on Twitter. The pair were in possession of numerous weapons, police said.
"Two MTA police officers assigned to patrol at Penn Station late Friday night, having been notified by an MTA PD detective assigned to the FBI/NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force , identified two men wanted in connection with threats to the Jewish community," MTA Police Department Chief John Mueller said in a statement.
Brown, of Aquebogue, faced a judge on Sunday for charges of weapon possession and making a terroristic threat. Charging documents include some of the violent tweets published in the last week; one claimed Brown was"gonna ask a priest if I should become a husband or shoot up a synagogue and die."In addition to the multiple weapons recovered in their arrest, prosecutors also said Brown was in possession of a swastika armband, ski mask and bulletproof vest.
