Manchester Man Allegedly Threatens To Cut Woman’s Head Off

CONCORD, NH — A New Hampshire man was arrested and held last month after allegedly threatening a woman in Concord in a voice mail message, according to police. Brandon C. Gurski, 29, of Manchester Street in Manchester, was arrested on Aug. 7, 2017, and charged with criminal threatening and domestic violence-criminal threatening. On Aug. 6, an officer was sent to an address in Downtown Concord to meet with a complainant who had reportedly received threats from a man she knew earlier in the week.

The officer met with woman and listened to the message from Aug. 1, according to report. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Concord NH Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

“I recognized the voice to be that of a male, speaking in a slurred manner,” the officer alleged in an affidavit. “The male states, ‘Block me you f------ dumb b----. I’ll find you, and cut your f------ head off. Bye.’”

The officer asked the woman if she knew the voice and she reportedly confirmed that it was Gurski, who she had known for about a decade. She also stated that he had allegedly attempted to cut her throat in 2009. The officer asked if she felt threatened and if she thought that his intention was to terrorize her and she said, “If you mean scare me, yeah, for my children.”

The week before, the victim also stated that Gurski allegedly called her and stated, “Check the Patch,” referring to the Concord Patch website.

“I asked (the victim) what significance this message has and she said that Brandon wants her to know that he’s around and causing issues,” the report alleged.

A warrant was issued for Gurski’s arrest and he was picked up the next day.

Gurski, according to reports online, has been involved in a number of disturbing allegations the past few years.

Back in September 2015, while living in Nashua, he was arrested in Concord on felony criminal mischief charges for allegedly throwing rocks at a Kia parked outside of the Beijing & Tokyo. He also allegedly scratched “F--- YOU WHITE POWER” on the side of the vehicle. Officers alleged that Gurski said he had been drinking a lot of alcohol, smoking pot, and taking hallucinogenic drugs, and blamed the incident on a leprechaun.

About six months later, he was arrested again for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief after allegedly throwing rocks at the windows of the McDonald’s Restaurant on Loudon Road. Gurski reportedly squared off with one of the officers and yelled, “Woo hoo!” after he was arrested.

According to Nashua Police and the Nashua Telegraph, he has been arrested in that community for disorderly conduct, criminal threatening, nonappearance in court, and failure to appear at an arraignment.
