Somebody's Knockin'

Jersey City, New Jersey, July 20, 2009:

Police said a Jersey City man threatened to slit his neighbors' throats after they reported him for playing loud music. A 32-year-old man was charged with three counts of criminal threatening and two of criminal mischief after he admitted punching a hole in the neighbors' front door.

Police said they gave the unidentified man a noise ticket early Friday, but the neighbors -- identified as Ronatarians Ron and Brad -- called officers back about a half hour later.

Investigators said the man went to Ron and Brad's house to apologize, but things didn't work out well. Ron and Brad reported the man began yelling, pulled out a pocket knife and threatened to slit their throats.

"He wasn't talkin' 'bout no loud music," said Ron. "He was f*cking crazy...screaming about politics and hookers and linear quadratic equations."

Ron and Brad slammed the door and were not hurt; although the perpetrator continued to pound on the front door, eventually putting a hole almost through it.
