Joseph Swaby was arrested Wednesday, more than two months after he allegedly attacked his roommate with a hand tricked out with razor fingers like Freddy Kruger's in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, The New York Post said. Last week, he allegedly copied Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" by firing at another man with pistols in both hands.

Swaby allegedly brought out his copy of the Freddy Kruger glove and told Dixon to remove his clothes. Dixon said that Swaby began slashing at him. In the shooting incident, a passer-by was grazed by a bullet.
