Chaotic footage show NYPD officers take down ISIS-inspired Gracie Mansion bombing suspect on March 18, 2026

Nail-biting new video shows NYC 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 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 New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
