The NY Post has a terrifying story of a Brooklyn man acting out his on-screen horror fantasies in Crown Heights.
Back in November, Joseph Swaby, 22, attacked his roommate Jason Dixon (who he met in jail)...with "razor-fingered gloved hand à la Freddy Kruger"! The nightmare on Pacific Street began when Swaby thought Dixon had stolen for him. As one does when they think their roommate has lifted their money, he made him strip and then continued to slash him up.
Since the incident Swaby had been at large, until he showed up again this past Wednesday. Apparently he'd been catching up on his Tarantino films while laying low, as he was arrested after attacking a 40-year-old man (again on Pacific Street) in a Reservoir Dogs-style shoot-up. With a pistol in each hand he didn't even manage to hit his target, but a bystander was grazed. Let's hope they don't allow him any horror movies in prison.
