Two attorneys arrested for allegedly being involved in a Molotov cocktail attack on a New York City Police Department car returned to jail on Friday after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted prosecutors’ request for an emergency stay.
Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis were arrested during a wave of violence and unrest that swept the city following the death of George Floyd, a man who died in police custody in Minneapolis. No one was hurt in the alleged attack, officials said.
