Police in New York City are investigating an alleged car bomb threat against Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is running in the Democratic primary for mayor. Mamdani's office in Queens received four voicemails from an individual threatening to blow up his car, a spokesperson for the assemblyman said.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force has opened an inquiry into a series of voice-mails sent to Mamdani’s office, including one making a car-bomb threat.

The New York Police Department is investigating threats against New York City mayoral candidate and socialist Zohran Mamdani after a man left a series of voice messages at his district office in recent weeks. The messages threatened Mamdani and his family. Mamdani’s campaign is cooperating with the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force on the messages.
