An unhinged man was arrested Monday morning after he allegedly walked into a state senator’s Harlem office and threatened to “blow this place up,” cops and law enforcement sources said.
The suspect, identified as Vadim Dergachev, allegedly leveled a series of disturbing threats against Sen. Cordell Cleare’s staff around 10:15 a.m. inside the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building, according to authorities.
“I’m gonna blow this place up,” Dergachev allegedly said, sources told The Post.

Police were called and Dergachev, 42, was charged with making terroristic threats, threat of mass harm, third-degree menacing and second-degree harassment, the NYPD said.
The Post has sought comment from Cleare’s office.
The Harlem pol, who is serving her second term representing the 30th state senate district, told City and State she was not in her district office when the threats were made.
