(CNN)An Arizona man was arrested Friday in connection with posting threats to bomb Harvard University and shoot attendees at its Black Commencement in 2017.
Nicholas Zuckerman, 24, was indicted on two counts of transmitting in interstate and foreign commerce a threat to injure the person of another, according to a statement from the District of Massachusetts US Attorney's Office. Zuckerman will appear in federal court in Boston at a later date, the statement said.
Zuckerman's arrest comes one year after a concerned citizen reported threats made on Harvard University's Instagram account to the school's police, who referred the case to federal authorities.
According to the US Attorney's statement, Zuckerman allegedly posted a comment under a photo stating: "If the blacks only ceremony happens, then I encourage violence and death at it. I'm thinking two automatics with extendo clips. Just so no n***** gets away."
