New York, New York—Index crimes continue to decline in New York City. When comparing 2015 through October 31st, versus the same period in 2014, crime is down 3.1 percent or 2,817 fewer crimes, the NYPD said.

A Manhattan man said he was “dying to kill NYPD” in several threatening 911 phone calls.

Rayshawn Dixon, 27, made the calls from his cell phone, telling dispatchers he had a gun and demanding they send NYPD officers to his location.

Three calls were made at about 5 a.m. Tuesday, according to call transcripts.

“Come up here, I’ll blow their ******* heads off,” Dixon allegedly told the 911 dispatcher, adding that he was on 91st Street near Central Park.

Minutes later, he called again and allegedly said, “I don’t know why you can’t come here yet, ’cause I am dying to kill NYPD. I am waiting for them.”

When dispatchers asked how the officers could identify him, Dixon is alleged to have responded, “They’ll figure it out. They’ll see me pull that hammer out, they’ll figure it out.”

Investigators traced Dixon’s cellphone and were able to track the phone to a Domino’s pizza store located at 592 Columbus Avenue, where he happened to be waiting on a pizza order.

After positive identification, Dixon was charged with making a terroristic threat and with second-degree criminal contempt. He has a prior arrest for robbery and two prior gun arrests.

Dixon was arraigned on Thursday night and held on $100,000 bail. He is being represented by Legal Aid.
