NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — An Upper East Side man with a history of paranoid delusion that Google was remotely torturing him through his electronic devices hit two women and a 12-year-old girl while crashing his car into a building near Google’s New York headquarters on Tuesday, according to police.
Around 6:10 p.m., Jason Bitton, 34, hit the child and two women, ages 47 and 50, when his white Ford Fusion ran up on the curb at 15th Street and 10th Avenue, just two blocks from Google’s headquarters in Chelsea, officials said.
Emergency responders took the victims to Lenox Health Greenwich Village in stable condition.
Police arrested Bitton at the scene and charged him with attempted assault, attempted reckless endangerment and attempted reckless driving.
Photographed at the scene was a hand-painted cardboard sign reading “Google tortured me” as well as a red gas canister, though whether it was holding gas is unconfirmed.
Posts on Facebook and a 2019 lawsuit show Bitton has been claiming for years that the tech company has been torturing and injuring him through his electronic devices.
Bitton’s lawsuit was thrown out.
