A 37-year-old man from New Jersey was arrested after attempting to enter St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan with two gasoline cans Wednesday night, police say.

Church ushers stopped the man at about 8 p.m. and notified nearby officers with the NYPD Critical Response Command, who took him into custody.

Authorities say he drove to St. Patrick's, parked in front of Saks and took two gas cans and lighter fluid from the car into the cathedral where he was stopped.

The man's intentions were not immediately clear. The incident came two days after the fire at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

Construction accident averted.

Indeed! Church ushers doing the job of OSHA, averting those construction accidents.

Good that they caught him before he could do any damage.

Which is worse, people? Possibly appearing prejudiced against a group of people due to educated guess, or blowing up churches?

(The correct answer seems to be A)

Fox News isn't any better.

NEW YORK – Just days after flames ravaged the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, a New Jersey man was arrested Wednesday night after entering St. Patrick's Cathedral carrying two cans of gasoline, lighter fluid and butane lighters, according to the New York Police Department.

snip

"As he enters the cathedral he's confronted by a cathedral security officer who asks him where he's going and informs him he can't proceed into the cathedral carrying these things," said Miller. "At that point some gasoline apparently spills out onto the floor as he's turned around."

snip

"It's hard to say what his intentions were, but I think the totality of circumstances of an individual walking into an iconic location like St. Patrick's Cathedral carrying over four gallons of gasoline, two bottles of lighter fluid and lighters and lighters is something we would have great concern over," Miller said.

Who ever he is, I don’t think the odds will favor Yoder as a last name.

maybe the man without a name, description, nationality, or origin.....was just trying to liven up the Lucernerium ritual a bit?

(and if anyone believes that, I’ve got a used bridge to sell him, conveniently close to St Pats)

This can not stand in the US. Muslims must know, if they burn one of ours, we’ll burn some of theirs.

Those crazy Amish again.

Or is it a resurgence of the really hardcore black metal musicians?

That's some first-class investigative journalism you're looking at there
