An explosive device was thrown in the midst of reported pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests in New York City, and it appeared to have injured someone. Video of the incident was captured:

According to one person who was there, a group of Palestinians threw the explosive device at the Jewish protesters.
If you skip to about 33 seconds in on this video, which doesn’t include the explosion, you’ll see someone laying on the ground. I’m guessing that person was hurt:

Here’s another video from a Jewish resident of NYC discussing what happened in somewhat vague terms. However Jewish Voice makes clear in the tweet text that it was ‘Palestinian thugs’:
