New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday denounced the attempted bombing outside Gracie Mansion, calling it a “heinous act of terrorism” after criminal charges against two teenage suspects were unsealed.

In a statement released following the charges, Mamdani addressed the alleged actions of the two suspects and said they must face the consequences of their conduct.

“Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi have been charged with committing a heinous act of terrorism and proclaiming their allegiance to ISIS,” Hizzoner said in a statement — that stopped short of condemning radical Islam.

“They should be held fully accountable for their actions,” he said, adding, “We will continue to keep New Yorkers safe. We will not tolerate terrorism or violence in our city.”

Authorities say Balat and Kayumi were arrested in connection with homemade explosive devices that were thrown during a protest and counter-protest outside Gracie Mansion.

According to the criminal complaint, both suspects later told NYPD investigators that the attack was motivated by their loyalty to ISIS.

Investigators say Balat also expressed a desire for the attack to cause more casualties than the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

“No, even bigger. It was only three deaths,” he told a cop, according to the complaint.

Mamdani’s remarks mirrored comments he made earlier in the day, when he also described the attempted bombing as terrorism while simultaneously criticizing a planned protest organized by far-right activists, accusing them of promoting anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Earlier statements by the mayor did not reference the suspects as self-radicalized or as Islamic extremists.

Mamdani is the first Muslim mayor of New York City.
