A man walked into a Brooklyn police precinct station house last week shouting, "Allah! Allah" with a wire wrapped around his waist, and, miraculously, did not die in a blaze of gunfire. According to the Daily News, the incident "sent civilians and cops running from the 61st Precinct station house while other officers subdued the suspect, Marwan Mohemed, 22." They then realized that the wire was just being used by Mohemed as a belt. "He dropped a black knapsack to the ground, then dropped to his knees and began yelling 'Allah! Allah! Allah!'" one NYPD source says. "He scared the heck out of everybody."
15 minutes earlier, Mohemed had entered the station to ask for "public assistance" but was told to contact a social service agency. But he soon returned and quickly got everyone's attention. After issuing him a summons for disorderly conduct, Mohemed was admitted to Coney Island Hospital for psychiatric observation. Police say his bag contained books, including a Koran, but "nothing to suggest Mohemed was involved in terrorism." Perhaps it was just a really edgy stunt for Jackass: Al Jazeera?
