Police investigating after device thrown at anti-Islam protest in New York City
AI Summary
New York City police are investigating an incident that occurred Saturday at an anti-Islam protest organized by conservative influencer Jake Lang. The incident began when someone from Lang's group pepper-sprayed a counterprotest near Gracie Mansion. A counterprotester then lit and threw a device containing nuts, bolts, and screws at the protesting crowd; a second similar device was dropped nearby. Authorities are unsure if the devices were functional or a hoax. Three people have been arrested in connection with the incident. No injuries were reported, and Mayor Mamdani was believed to be absent from the residence. Lang, who received clemency for January 6-related charges, is now running for US Senate in Florida.
