NY Police Detain Man for Throwing Devices Near Anti-Muslim Protest

New York police have detained a man after he was seen throwing 'ignited' devices near an anti-Muslim protest. The devices, which contained nuts, bolts, screws, and a fuse, were initially thought to be improvised explosive devices but are now believed to be a hoax. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated that the public's safety remains their top priority. The protest, which opposes Muslim rights, has raised concerns among local communities. The devices were found near the protest site, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement. The suspect was taken into custody in New York City, and authorities are continuing their investigation to ensure the safety of all individuals involved.
