Explosive Device Thrown During Protest Outside NYC Mayor’s Home. New York City police say an explosive device was thrown during protests outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence over the weekend, raising serious safety concerns. According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the device was a jar packed with nuts, bolts, and screws, wrapped in black tape and fitted with a fuse. It was ignited and thrown during a protest near Gracie Mansion but extinguished before it could explode. Authorities say the device had the potential to cause serious injury or even death. The incident happened during demonstrations between two opposing groups. A small protest led by far-right activist Jake Lang was held outside the mayor’s home, while a much larger counter-protest gathered nearby. Police say an 18-year-old counter-protester lit and threw the device before attempting to flee. Officers later arrested him along with another individual at the scene. Investigators are now working with federal authorities to determine the full circumstances behind the incident.
