NEW YORK: New York Police arrested a man walking into New York’s St Patrick’s Cathedral carrying two full petrol cans, lighter fluid and lighters, media reports said.
Police said the guards confronted the 37-year-old as he entered the Manhattan Church on Wednesday evening.
He spilt the gasoline on the ground. Police officers took him into custody.
Police said the “suspicious” incident occurred just two days after a fire gutted Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris of France.
The New York Police, however, said it was too early to say whether terrorism was a motive. (Agencies)
