Two people were taken into custody after a pair “suspicious devices” were ignited Saturday during protests outside of Gracie Mansion, the official residence of the mayor of New York City.
The incident occurred as an anti-Islam demonstration led by conservative influencer Jake Lang and a counterprotest were underway, police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters. An NYPD spokesperson said there were no injuries.
Tisch said she did not believe Mayor Zohran Mamdani and first lady Rama Duwaji were home at the time. Mamdani spokesperson Joe Calvello said the couple was safe.
“Thankfully, the Mayor and the First Lady are both safe, though the events are a stark reminder of the threats they both face regularly," Calvello said in a statement.
A bomb squad examined the devices, described as being smaller than a football, and said they appeared to be a jar wrapped in black tape with nuts, bolts, screws and a hobby fuse, Tisch said.
