A counter-protester demonstrating against a ‘Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City’ event on Saturday lit and threw a device containing nuts, bolts and screws at the protesting crowd after someone from that group used pepper spray on the counter-protest, police said.
Tensions heighten when someone in the counter-protest lit and threw a device smaller than a football into the protesting crowd of about 20 people.
The device struck a barrier and extinguished itself “a few feet from police officers”. The same person then ran, and another person gave him a second device, which he then dropped.
