From Fox News: New video shows the moment one of the accused terror suspects was tackled to the ground after allegedly throwing a homemade bomb during a protest in New York City.
Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, of Newtown, Pennsylvania, and 18-year-old Emir Balat are accused of throwing live explosive devices into a protest taking place outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Gracie Mansion residence on March 7, after driving from Bucks County to Manhattan, according to federal officials.
The new video shows Balat being tackled by an NYPD officer while Chief Aaron Edwards nearby yelled, “Get him.” An individual could be heard yelling “bomb” after Balat was tackled to the ground.
In a criminal complaint, prosecutors said a series of pictures shows the men handling the alleged bomb, which was determined to have contained TATP in addition to nuts and bolts that were attached with duct tape.
Balat later allegedly touted to police that he wanted the planned attack to be “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”
Balat had thrown the bomb at a small group of conservatives who were outside Mamdani’s residence protesting against the Islamic takeover of New York City. He was in the process of throwing a second bomb when police came after him.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has announced that the case is being investigated as an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism.
