A Brooklyn man is under arrest for allegedly threatening to carry out an "Orlando-style" attack on a gay bar in Bushwick.
Police say 40-year-old Justin Rice was asked to leave the Happy Fun Hideaway on Myrtle Avenue around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
They say he became aggressively agitated and shouted, "I will come back Orlando-style. I'll shoot this place up. I'll get me 50."
He also shouted anti-gay slurs, tried to throw a punch and threw a metal bucket, according to authorities.
A customer who lives in the area, but was not there at the time, says recent events are not going to change how he lives his life.
"I'm going to go to work like I do every day, and I'm going to have drinks when and where I feel," the customer said. "I mean, it's terrible, but at the same time, you know, you can't let a few crazy people, there's always going to be crazy people, and can't let crazy people dictate your life."
Rice is being charged with second-degree assault, second-degree aggravated harassment and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
