New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said two improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, were lit outside Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s official residence, on March 7 and a third possible homemade explosive was found in a nearby vehicle.
One of the devices, Tisch said, contained TATP, “a dangerous and highly volatile homemade explosive that has been used in IED attacks around the world.”
Two people, Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were taken into custody and are expected to be formally charged on March 9, Tisch said.
The devices were ignited as protesters and counterprotesters squared off during a rally organized and led by conservative influencer Jake Lang. The protest, titled “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City,” took place near the Manhattan home of Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor.
Balat and Kayumi, who officials described as counterprotesters, were seen on video throwing a pair of explosive devices toward the protesters, Mamdani said. He described the devices as being made “to injure, maim, or worse.”
