Khalil Bakho, 56, had stood in the doorway of Brother Bruno’s Pizza, Deli and Bagels on Hamburg Turnpike, pointed at the workers and made a slicing motion across his throat with the knife, Detective Capt. Dan Daly said.
A responding officer searching the area moments later spotted Bakho, of Wayne, slouching in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle, Daly said.
Bakho was arrested after the officer found the knife under his seat, he said.
He was sent to the Passaic County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Paterson on charges of stalking, making terroristic threats, simple assault and weapons offenses, including being a convicted felon in possession of a knife.
