New York officials and the FBI have launched an investigation into “an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism”, following the attempted use of two homemade explosives near the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Saturday.

Footage of the incident shows one of the suspects being detained just seconds after igniting one of the explosives, which did not detonate. The devices “could have caused serious injury or death”, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Monday.

The incident occurred after a group of anti-Islam protesters gathered outside Mamdani’s mayoral residence, Gracie Mansion, and clashed with a larger group of counter-protesters.

The suspects were identified as 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, both from Pennsylvania.
