A creepy baseball fan obsessed with horror movies was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly threatened Mets players — and plotted to slash a team manager in a “Friday the 13th”-style attack.
Aryn Leroux, 42, of West Haven took to Twitter for a violent tirade against Mets reliever LaTroy Hawkins and the team’s GM Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins — who he threatened to skin alive, according to law enforcement sources and his own Twitter page.
“Tomorrow is Friday the 13th… lets get a gang of us to wear Jason Vorhees masks to Citi-Field and go skin us a GM-Owner-Manager,” Leroux Tweeted on Sept 12.
“Think of it… it would be the lead story on CNN…. #mets fans kill the team owner-gm-manager. before they kill us #selfdefense,” he proclaimed before taking it one disturbing step further.
“What are some good ways to dispose of Wilpon-Alderson-Collins, any ideas? …there will be a blood bath at Citi-Field tomorrow night,” he tweeted.
The horror movie buff also hatched an elaborate plan to sneak into the team clubhouse and hide bombs in every player’s cleats, a team source told The Post.
NYPD officers and West Haven police arrested Leroux in Connecticut and charged him with misdemeanor threatening and breach of peace, law enforcement sources said.
Leroux also threatened to blow up Citi Field and has repeatedly harassed fans and players, earning a reputation as a much-loathed Twitter troll, sources said.
Hawkins called him a real threat to the team.
“The guy is a bad person. On Twitter he made some threats that can’t be tolerated in this day and age, ” he told the Post.
The horror movie buff also harassed utility infielder Justin Turner, sources said.
Law enforcement sources declined to give specifics about the ways in which he had threatened players.
Leroux uses the handle @danxtanna — but his account was pulled down on Wednesday afternoon.
His Twitter bio describes him as a “Mets-Cowboys-Celtics-Rangers-Uconn” fan and “Horror Movie Buff.”
The Queens District Attorney’s office helped identify Leroux’s Twitter account, which was registered under his father’s name, law enforcement sources said.
Leroux posted $2,500 bail and is awaiting arraignment in Milford.
Hawkins, who is active on social media, recently tweeted about Leroux, urging Twitter users to block him.
“Let’s block and report as spam and shut him up for awhile @danxtanna he want to do bodily harm on our team.”
The arrest comes one day after Giants running back Brandon Jacobs revealed on Twitter that he had received a death threat.
