[NYPOST] The unhinged brute with a long rap sheet who was caught on video whacking an NYPD officer in the head with a bottle told cops that "God told him to do this," law enforcement sources said Tuesday.| Sounds like untreated schizophrenia. |
"Allegedly filmed"?
He suddenly lashes out as he walks by — hitting her in the back of the head and then continuing to go after both the officer and her partner.
The shocking recording, posted to the NYC Scoop Twitter feed, goes on to show the officer and another person taking him down.
Garcia, of Kingsbridge Heights, was arrested and charged with assault, obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and harassment, police said.
He allegedly ranted to officers after his arrest that God had "told him to do this," and that there were "people in his house and no one did anything," sources said.
The suspect has 11 previous arrests, many of which appear to stem from his mental health issues, sources said.
