Nail-biting new video shows NYPD cops tackle and arrest Islamic extremist Emir Balat moments after he hurled an improvised explosive device outside Gracie Mansion.
In the chaotic footage, the 18-year-old homegrown terror suspect is seen sprinting down a city street on March 7, attempting to evade capture as officers can be heard screaming, “What is that? Bomb! Bomb!”
Within seconds, a brave NYPD officer takes him down with a perfectly executed form tackle, as officers immediately join in the dogpile to control the crowd and ensure he was taken into custody without incident.
Balat and his brother-in-arms Ibraham Kayumi, 19, lobbed the dangerous homemade incendiary devices during an anti-Muslim protest outside the residence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch identified the devices as so-called “Mother of Satan” bombs — crude but deadly munitions made of sports drink bottles filled with triacetone triperoxide, a highly unstable explosive chemical, and packed with bolts, nuts and screws to inflict maximum damage.
The devices failed to detonate, but Tisch said they were very much capable of causing “serious injury and death.”
The wannabe terrorists, who defiantly pledged allegiance to ISIS after their arrests, told investigators they had hoped the death toll from their attack would be “even bigger” than the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that killed three people and injured 280 others.
The men left their upscale Philadelphia suburban homes March 7 and traveled to New York City with the intention of carrying out the attack, Tisch said.
They’re being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on federal charges.
