In 'the Patter', which is the Glaswegian dialect of Scots, saying "I am dangerous" is slightly awkward, though it would simply be "am/um dangerous". More common phrases would be "am/um mental", "am/um a nutter". Someone who is dangerous could be referred to as a "bad yin", a "heid the baw", a "chib merchant", etc.
