A 54-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of throwing Molotov cocktails at the Los Angeles Federal Building, authorities said. Nobody was hurt. Security guards heard a man yelling derogatory comments about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside the downtown building on Monday, according to a statement by the US Department of Homeland Security.
He then hurled two incendiary devices at the guards, the department said. "Fortunately, the bottles were not lit and did not catch fire and there were no injuries or damage to federal property," the DHS statement said on Tuesday. FBI agents arrested Jose F. Jovel, of Los Angeles, said bureau spokesperson Laura Eimiller. Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint Tuesday charging him with multiple counts of attempted malicious damage of federal property and possession of an unregistered destructive device.
