NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A homeless man was arrested in Brooklyn on Tuesday for allegedly threatening to kill police officers in videos posted to Twitter.

The New York Post reported that Ricardo Waldron, 47, threatened NYPD officers with 10 different threatening posts over the course of 12 hours, starting early Tuesday.

The NYPD confirmed that Waldron was charged with two counts of making terroristic threats and menacing in the case. MTA Police also charged him for threats he made to their officers, the NYPD said.

"Every time I remember being hit by a cop, I’m going to try to kill cops," Waldron said in one video posted Tuesday at 10:38 a.m.

The videos appeared to have been taken inside the subway system, according to the report. He was later arrested on the subway in Coney Island.

Tuesday was not Waldron's first arrest. Sources told the paper he's been out on the streets since he posted a $10,000 bond last October in an assault and weapons possessions case.
