Investigators are treating a chaotic incident where two men allegedly attempted to detonate homemade bombs during a protest near Gracie Mansion over the weekend as an “act of ISIS-inspired terrorism,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Monday.
The commissioner said the two suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, both from Pennsylvania, will be charged in federal court in Manhattan on Monday afternoon.
