New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday that the case involving two men accused of throwing improvised explosive devices near Gracie Mansion is being investigated as an “act of ISIS-inspired terrorism.”
Speaking during a press conference alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Tisch said the suspects, Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, will be prosecuted in federal court in Manhattan.
She said a criminal complaint outlining the charges and factual allegations is expected to be made public later Monday.
Tisch declined to discuss specific details of the ongoing investigation, citing the pending federal prosecution, but confirmed that authorities are treating the case as terrorism-related.
