It would be serious to me. Call the police. A threat isn't less real just because it heppens over the internet. In fact, it's better proof. The only question is, did you have a valid fear of imminent bodily harm? A defense attorney will say, "How can it be imminent if it's over the internet?" But that's not your problem. Again, call the police.
