The incident involved a counter-protester hurling a device that smoked but did not detonate, prompting a swift police response and the detention of two men from Pennsylvania, Ibraham Kayumi and Emir Balat.Investigators later determined the device contained TATP, a hazardous, volatile substance, and classified the weapons as improvised explosive devices capable of causing serious injury or death. Tisch labeled it ISIS-inspired terrorism and highlighted the danger posed to bystanders, noting there were no injuries thanks to the officers\u2019 actions. The case was reported by outlets such as The New York Post and The New York Times, with commentary from officials and coverage of ongoing investigations, while the article also includes various embedded media and social posts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>New York City Police Commissioner, Jessica Tisch is labeling a device hurled during a Saturday protest a terrorist attack inspired by the Islamic State.<\/p>\n<p>As noted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/03\/07\/us-news\/possible-smoke-bomb-at-gracie-mansion-sends-people-running-for-cover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, conservative protesters were marching Saturday afternoon outside of Gracie Mansion, the official home of New York City&rsquo;s mayors, when a device was hurled towards them by a counter-protester.<\/p>\n<p>The device, which began to smoke, caused panic at the scene but did not detonate.
