Secret Service agents have arrested the accused stalker of Ivanka Trump in New York City.

Justin Massler, 34, was taken into custody on November 29 about two blocks from Trump Tower in Manhattan, the New York Post reported over the weekend.

He was reportedly at the Salisbury Hotel on West 57th Street when the Secret Service located him.

Massler has been stalking Trump at least since 2010, when he was charged with stalking and harassment, and pleaded guilty in 2012 to violating an order of protection, according to the Post.

He reportedly sent the president-elect’s daughter threatening tweets, emails and YouTube videos.

Massler, who lived with his mother in Reno, Nevada, is a schizophrenic who once blamed his obsession on space aliens, according to the Post.

He has been in Bellevue Hospital since his arrest and has not been charged, according to reports. He left a psychiatric hospital in Nevada late last month.

In a YouTube video called “Message to Mayim Bialik from King of Israel Justin Massler,” posted to YouTube, Massler told the Jewish actress that he was “the Chosen One, the Messianic King of Israel,” known to Jews as “Messiah or King Messiah,” as well as the “real Harry Potter,” fighting Lord Voldemort, who, he said, was really the Jewish banker Lord Jacob Rothschild.
