Molotov Cocktail Found In Downtown Parking Garage
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Philadelphia Police are investigating the discovery of a Molotov cocktail along with anti-Israeli books inside a Center City parking garage.
The discovery was made at about 2:00 p.m. Wednesday inside a garage located at Callowhill and N. 16th Streets. The garage is in close proximity to the office of the Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices.
Police initially responded to a report of a man sleeping next to a suspicious device in the office of the parking garage.
"Before the police arrived, the male left the property. He left behind a Molotov cocktail and literature," Captain Dennis Wilson explained.
Investigators said the man left behind anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian books and documentation, along with an Arabic dictionary.
"It looks like a Molotov cocktail, some sort of accelerant in a bottle, sealed top, with a fuse," Captain Wilson said.
Captain Wilson said they know exactly who the individual is because he left behind his laptop and his identification.
There were no injuries, police said.
So far, no arrests have been made. The incident remains under police investigation.
