A protest outside the residence of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani turned violent as multiple improvised explosive devices were thrown, leading to arrests and police investigations. The NYPD confirmed that several of these devices were deemed viable explosives, with law enforcement sources describing them as highly dangerous. The protest, associated with anti-Islam sentiments, sparked counterprotests that intensified the situation. Six individuals were arrested amid the chaos, and an FBI terrorism investigation has been launched to assess the incidents, including the use of explosives by counterprotesters. Mayor Mamdani was home during the protests and subsequently spoke out after the alarming events unfolded.
