The reign of terror by serial killer David Berkowitz, a.k.a. "Son of Sam," ended with his arrest by the NYPD 40 years ago on Aug. 10, 1977.

Armed with a .44-caliber handgun, this killer stalked young women parked with their boyfriends in the city's lovers' lanes. He taunted police with notes sent to then-Daily News columnist Jimmy Breslin, and with each the tension grew.
