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.

"A 37-year-old man from New Jersey …"

Uh huh. The only question is how many "Mohammads" are in his name. Is his name Mohammad Mohammad, or Mohammad Mohammad Mohammad, or maybe just plain Mohammad.

From the story The man's intentions were not immediately clear.

Maybe he was going to donate the gasoline to the "poor box" for some needy person or family to use. /s

It’s ABC, local affiliate. The All Bullshit Channel.

On a generous day I’d call them the Sgt. Schulz Channel (SSC), “I Know Nothing!” channel, but I don’t feel generous at all.

“The 37-year-old man, identified by NBC New York police sources as Marc Lamparello, is being considered an “emotionally disturbed person,” according to police. He was arrested with two gasoline cans, police said.”

Well sure - who isn’t emotionally disturbed when they run out of gas for their car at night. In New York City no less! I’d be going crazy too!

...Because the man was not immediately charged, police did not release him name. However, a family member identified him as Marc Lamparello, 37, of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey

Obviously, he meant to perform renovations.

...Lamparello is “known to police,” according to Miller. He has two prior arrests in New Jersey for criminal trespass and public drunkenness, sources added.

“Only a “man” ? Wow, with a description like that...”

A 37 year old man. And he told them his age but not his name.

I’m sure he has a fine American name like John Smith. Certainly not Jihad al-Mohammad.

He’s a sometime ‘philosophy professor’ and music director at a Catholic church.

Thanks .... imho copy cat but arson has been ruled out in Paris or so I’ve read. So the skinny is perhaps he thinks Paris was arson
