A Brooklyn man who threatened to burn down Manhattan’s Diamond District if New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio didn’t meet his demands was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats.
The man, who identified himself as Ace Burns, said, “Today, I’m giving a demonstration from Barclay’s Center at 6 p.m. to City Hall, and that’s the first stop—and we’re hoping [Mayor] de Blasio and [Gov.] Cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction.”
