On Mar. 8, devices were ignited in the midst of an anti-Islam protest and a counterprotest outside of the residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the devices thrown were “improvised explosive devices made to injure, maim or worse.” While none of the devices detonated, at least one was confirmed to contain a highly volatile homemade explosive. No one was injured.
Tisch also asserted that at this time, there is no evidence that connects this act to the conflict overseas in Iran.
