A suspect was apprehended in Midtown Manhattan early on September 29th, 2025, after ramming an off-duty federal agent's car, leading to the discovery of a significant cache of weapons and ammunition. Police worked the scene from approximately 10 p.m. on September 28th until nearly 4 a.m. on September 29th UTC, according to reports from @Leeroy on X. The recovered items included a handgun, an AR-15 style rifle, a scope, Level 3+ armor-piercing ammunition, and a "FTP - Fxck the Police" license plate cover. The incident, described as a "full-blown nightmare" by @Leeroy, occurred in the heart of Manhattan, and authorities believe NYPD may have prevented a larger-scale event. This development follows the brief detention of Chicago CBS reporter Asal Rezaei on the same morning, who was reportedly performing her journalistic duties. Rezaei's detention, which occurred between approximately 2:06 AM and 2:36 AM UTC, comes shortly after the detention and release of journalist Steve Held. The exact reasons and circumstances for Rezaei's detention remain unconfirmed, as details regarding the story she was covering have not been released.
