A 43-year-old former US Army soldier has been taken into custody after allegedly setting a fire outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, which houses the headquarters of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and offices of the FBI.
Authorities said the suspect, identified as Arrabaca, allegedly used incendiary devices and fireworks to ignite the blaze before being arrested. Two people suffered minor injuries.
Speaking at a news conference, FBI New York Assistant Director James Barnacle said the suspect arrived "armed with bad intentions" and was carrying two axes, a hammer, a machete, three fixed-blade knives, six incendiary devices or fireworks, and other destructive items.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism.
