Attorneys Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were arrested for tossing Molotov cocktails at a police vehicle during the recent leftist rioting in New York City. Another woman, Samantha Shader was also arrested on the same charge. Rahman interned with a radical anti-Israel group. All three are facing life imprisonment.
The two attorneys, Colinford Mattis, 32, and Urooj Rahman, 31, reportedly were caught attempting to distribute homemade molotov cocktail devices to protesters who were clashing with police near the 88th Precinct.
