Machete-wielding man scrawls ‘satanic’ messages on NC sorority house

A man armed with a machete painted “satanic messages” in his own blood on a North Carolina sorority house Sunday night, police say.

An officer with the East Carolina University Police Department was patrolling the area near East 5th and Meade streets in Greenville on Sunday night when he was flagged down by a group concerned about the “behavior” of a man nearby who was bleeding from his arms and hands, Capt. Chris Sutton, a spokesperson for the department, told McClatchy News on Monday night.

Police found the machete-wielding man “in distress” shortly after, disarmed him and “deescalated” the situation, they said.

Sutton said a warrant has been issued charging the unidentified man with injury to real property. It will be served when he is released from medical care.

The 25-year-old had cut himself on his arms and hands and used his blood to write “what has been interpreted as satanic messages or verbiage” on the Alpha Delta Pi sorority house and a car parked nearby, Sutton told McClatchy.

No one in the house was harmed, police tweeted earlier Monday. Sutton also said officials believe the suspect used only his own blood to write the messages.
