said officers arrested a 37-year-old man outside of the historic St. Patrick’s Cathedral after he approached the building with two gasoline cans late Wednesday.
"We are investigating an incident at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Expect a heavy police presence. Update to follow," NYPD Midtown North tweeted at around 9:30 p.m.
jisforjolana OK but if he didn't know it was against the law/he wasn't successful, he didn't do anything wrong. How were his emotions? Barr says these things count.
Congratulations ABC. Going back to your roots, shaking off the dust and reporting ACTUAL NEWS.
so much for sanctuary...
What in the hell is wrong with people? 😒
“His intentions were not immediately clear”? They absolutely WERE clear, he was going to burn it down. St. Patrick’s even resembles Notre Dame!!
Sigh...Always some idiot trying to copycat.
May be he was heading to the TRUMP tower...clearly a MAGA guy.
Oh my goodness
Did he scream, 'This is MAGA country!'
Why would a practicing Catholic want to harm a house of worship of his own community?
Hmmm
Totally crazy. You have your own beliefs, respect others who also have their own.
RESPECT ... ENFORCEMENT
Why are they not telling us the name and race of this deplorable?
So- where’s his face?
It would have NOT been arson or a terrorist stack. Just like Notre Dame, was solved before the investigation even began. Hell in France solved before the fire starts. Real detective work there. Them boys are telekinetic.
KennaLeeFree Clowns, “damn we are running out of zombies”. BTW where’s Ruth?
The first course of action will be a psychiatric evaluation? Any criminal in his right mind knows that acting crazy is likely to reduce the consequences of what he has done.
Atheist.
He look-a like a man......
Smirkin_Eee_Dee SHOCKER!
Show the 'new Jersey' man.
Need picture and name of the guy
What is the man’s background?
Sick people. We need to address this void. Are Parents parenting - teaching right from wrong?! People don’t know what to do w/their anger! 😤😡 America needs a change of heart! ♥️👍🇺🇸🙏
JoeSPalmer Your the only one with approaching. So he was walking a block away and the police grabbed him bc maybe.
What race was the “man?”
😟
Why?
Police say they've arrested a New Jersey man who tried to enter St. Patrick's Cathedral with two jugs of gasoline
'Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' ~ Jesus (Matthew 11:28)
Approaching? He walked in and was stop by security.

Maybe he bought a Tesla and was donating the gas
You can't break wind in a Forest without getting citation in US.
Any guesses as to what the persons religion is? Also, the fire in ND is the latest in a rash of Christian church desecrations throughout France and Europe. Would be nice if abc would actually do a but of real reporting.
realDonaldTrump come collect one of yourTrump dumbettes -another one who doesn’t clearly understand this isn’t a battle cry to torch all of God’s places of worship. Set him straight and tell the truth this time. Notre Dam was an accidental fire -IN FRANCE.
I can't wait for Rachel Maddow to tell me.....they were wearing maga hats.
Wow, that's crazy.
This is what happens when “pastors” like JustinPetersMin use tragedy to attack other faiths. It’s WestboroBaptist without the profanity, and it’s inciting violence.
Oh for fucks sake
Maybe it was just for huffing? I'm so glad I stay away from religious establishments. You are all welcome to end this war anytime. Thanks.
'Some people did something.'
Oh, another NotreDame 'accident', eh EmmanuelMacron and Paris police? lemondefr, do your job as journalists and uncover the coverup of the atrocity done to France and Christianity this week!
😮 i was wondering when some nut would do this
