A US man claiming to be God slammed a stolen landscaping truck into a Baltimore-area television station, then spent hours watching live TV news footage of the scene before he was arrested by local authorities.
Baltimore County law enforcement officials said 29-year-old Vladimir Baptiste was taken into custody after spending nearly five hours barricaded inside the WMAR-TV station in Towson, watching journalists deliver live reports from just outside the building.
Vladimir posted tweets of his barricade situation.
No one, including the suspect, was injured, according to Baltimore County Police.
Baltimore County police chief James Johnson said the man was “ranting and raving,” and was “incoherent”.
The suspect was taken to hospital for medical treatment before facing possible charges.
