A police officer's death has prompted scrutiny of Zohran Mamdani's beliefs. There have been reports of tension between Mamdani and the NYPD, as well as incidents near Mamdani's home, including the discovery of a homemade bomb and a foiled attack that has been investigated as ISIS-inspired. The situation has also been marked by other events, including a man's arrest for allegedly assaulting police officers and the resumption of homeless encampment sweeps in New York City.
