Manchester man in viral video arrested

The Manchester man that was seen in a 55-second video threatening to kidnap girls and women across Mandeville, in the parish is in police custody. 

Superintendent of the Manchester Police, Shane McCalla, told the STAR that investigations are ongoing, while the police await reports from the mental health facility at the Mandeville Regional Hospital. 

A STAR source had earlier disclosed that the man suffers from a mental illness.

In the video posted to the social media platform TikTok, the man stated that he was on a mission for the devil.

"I am promising all of you, all of you that lives in Manchester that on Monday when school returns, I will be taking all girl kids. I will be driving around, and I will be taking your child. I will be taking all women and all girls, because we need them for an experiment. The devil needs them for an experiment," he said.
