Police in New York City have arrested a man who they say was carrying a gas can and matches and acting erratically near the Rockefeller Center tree.
Police say 38-year-old Yuriy Alterman threw a bottle into the street, became combative and screamed at officers when they approached him Tuesday afternoon in midtown Manhattan.
They say he was carrying a red can containing a liquid that smelled like gasoline, matches as well as a book called “Son of Hamas,” which is about the son of one of Hamas’ founders. He told officers that he didn’t intend to set anything on fire.
Police say he didn’t get close to the tree.
The Bronx man has been charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.

These kinds of individuals could be anywhere!
Be watchful, be alert in public places!
Be safe.
Always look for a way out in any situation if problems arise.
If you see them (muslims) around any American heritage, shoot and answer questions later. We need to stand up and stop this idiots from destroying America like their inside leader ( Jackass Obama).
Because of Obummers refugee policies the country now has muslim lunatics running loose all over the country! People need to stay vigilante and aware of who is around you every where you go and if you do not live in a state that has an tyrannical government like New York does, carry a firearm at all times!
I find it interesting the articles talks about “Real Life Grinch?”…….guy mentions Hamas, fights with police, has gasoline/matches, and even the article writer doesn’t connect the dots?????????????? Are we being dumbed down or WHAT! Even Horn News didn’t mention a connection with any type of terrorism. At the very least, he’s an anarchist. Besides, I wasn’t of the impression that the “Grinch” was a “bad soul” at all. This guy is an out and out terrorist……….good grief, what does it take to “say a spade is a spade”………..!
There are sleeper cells in every state just waiting for someone to give them the word to attack. Take up arms and make sure to defend yourself and your family. These people hate Americans and will stop at nothing to take us out!!!
I’m not all that sure that EVERY Muslim is a terrorist or a threat to us, but Islam is definitely totally inconsistent with the US and its democratic government. Its time, however, that we practice “caution” and observe what people who are Muslim are doing. Gingrich is right, we need to bring back the House Un-American Activities Committee and start assessing who REALLY is a 4th column (traitors to our way of life in the USA). My believe is simple, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, ITS A DUCK ! Open your eyes America……… be vigilant!
I call for a permanent ban on anyone else entering into this country until we can figure out who is here now and what their intentions are.
