Six arrested after 'homemade nail bombs' launched at home of NYC mayor
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Six people were arrested Saturday after homemade explosive devices were thrown near the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a protest.
The devices contained nuts, bolts, screws and a fuse, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Authorities said it was not immediately clear whether the devices were functional bombs or hoax imitations.
There was no indication the incident was related to the ongoing hostilities in Iran.
Panic erupted as far-right influencer Jake Lang was leading an anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion, Mamdani's official residence. Lang was denouncing what he called the 'Islamification' of the city and demanding an end to public Muslim prayer in New York when two suspects were seen lighting and lobbing the devices near a line of police.
The protest drew around 20 people, while about 125 counter protesters gathered nearby.
Mamdani and his wife Rama Duwaji were not believed to be at home at the time. No injuries were reported.
Tensions between the two groups escalated around 12.15pm after a seemingly peaceful start to the day.
An individual from the Lang's protest allegedly used pepper spray against the liberal counter protesters and was arrested, police said.
About fifteen minutes later, Emir Balat, 18, allegedly lit and dropped an explosive near cops. Balat then allegedly secured a second device from Ibrahim Nikk, 19. He dropped that on the west side of East End Avenue between East 86th and 87th streets.
'Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke as it travelled through the air before it struck a barrier a few feet from police officers,' Tisch said.
Both teenagers were taken into custody, and the incident was captured by surveillance cameras.
The explosives were described as being smaller than a football.
