Luigi Mangione, the man arrested Monday in connection with last week’s killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, appeared to yell a message to members of the media Tuesday, Dec. 10, as he was being taken into court by law enforcement officers.
The incident was captured on video by local news cameras and shared on social media, showing the 26-year-old murder suspect struggling with police while trying to shout towards a crowd — which included reporters and cameras — gathered outside the courthouse.
Mangione’s hands were handcuffed behind his back as video shows him begin to turn to yell. One police officer held Mangione’s right arm while ushering him from a police vehicle into the courthouse, as four more officers rushed to help usher him into the building while he screamed.
“It’s completely out of touch! It’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people!” Mangione appeared to yell in the video.
It’s not clear what Mangione was referencing.
The Baltimore-area native was arrested Monday afternoon after being recognized at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pa., where he was taken into custody by local police shortly after an employee called 911.
An arrest warrant obtained by PEOPLE shows Mangione has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, one count of second-degree possession of a forged document, and one count of third-degree criminal possession of a firearm.

The former high school valedictorian and University of Pennsylvania computer science graduate also faces charges in Pennsylvania for carrying a weapon and showing a fake ID to a police officer. He was arraigned in a courthouse near Altoona on Tuesday and denied bail.
Mangione has not yet entered a plea.
A law enforcement source told PEOPLE on Monday that officers found a “manifesto” that Mangione had written railing against the healthcare industry, writing that Thompson’s killing “had to be done” and that “frankly, these parasites had it coming.”

Thompson, 50, was gunned down in front of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan where he and other UnitedHealthcare executives were set to gather for an investor meeting.
Shell casings found at the scene of Thompson’s murder reportedly had the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” on them — a possible reference to “deny, delay, defend,” a phrase used about the insurance industry to describe a strategy of rejecting claims.

Several reports have alleged Mangione has been dealing with “debilitating” back pain in recent years with friends and family losing contact with him in recent months. CNN and The New York Times reported several friends have attempted to reach out to him on social media since this past summer, while the San Francisco Standard reported Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, reported him missing to the San Francisco Police Department on Nov. 18.
R.J. Martin, a friend who says he met Mangione through a co-living space Martin founded in Hawaii, told the Honolulu Civil Beat that Mangione “went radio silent in June or July.”
