The improvised explosive devices thrown near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence during weekend protests are being investigated as part of an act of "ISIS-inspired terrorism," the city’s police commissioner said Monday.
Two suspects will be prosecuted in federal court in connection with Saturday's incident, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference.
Authorities do "not have information that connects this investigation to what is going on overseas in Iran," Tisch said, referring to the U.S. and Israeli joint military offensive there.
Tisch said the objects thrown Saturday during an anti-Islam demonstration and counterprotest near Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s official residence, were "improvised explosive devices made to injure, maim or worse."
She added that a third suspicious device tested negative for explosive material. At least one of the devices contained a dangerous and highly volatile homemade explosive. None of the devices detonated, and nobody was injured.
