"Then, at approximately 12:38 p.m., a counterprotester identified as 18-year-old Amir Balat lit and threw an ignited device toward the protest area. It landed in the crosswalk at East 87th Street and East End Avenue. Witnesses reported seeing flames and smoke as it traveled through the air. It struck a barrier a few feet from police officers and extinguished itself," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press conference on Saturday evening.
