Police: Man Throwing Rocks At Women's Cars Claimed To Be 'Messiah'

Police said a man who was arrested in Banksville earlier this month told officers that he was the "Messiah" and that he wished to kill women.

According to police, Mahmoud Aqueel was standing in the middle of Crane Avenue on July 6, throwing rocks at women's cars as they passed by.

The victims said their cars were dented and scratched.

After Aqueel was taken into custody, police said he requested that officers called him "T-Rex" and that "everyone would be sorry for what they had done."

Aqueel remains in the Allegheny County Jail. He is facing several charges including, disorderly conduct, aggravated assault and propulsion of missiles. Aqueel is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
