NH State Police Investigating Trump Rally Threat Caught On Camera

Twitter video, now removed, showed man telling a Boston broadcast journalist "someone's going to bomb you" in an expletive-filled diatribe.

LONDONDERRY, NH — New Hampshire State Police said they are investigating a video posted on Twitter that shows a man challenging and threatening a Boston television crew covering Friday night's post-convention rally for President Donald Trump in Londonderry.

State police released a statement Saturday stating its department and the Londonderry police were "aware of the video circulating on social media involving a Boston-based media journalism crew" and were "looking into the matter."

The video, which WHDH-TV reporter Alex DiPrato posted on his Twitter account Friday night, shows the man, who was not wearing a face mask, approaching the television crew and accosting the crew after DiPrato tried to distance himself from the man.

The Village People song "Macho Man" can be heard playing in the background during the tirade.
