THE man accused of setting people on fire with a makeshift flamethrower and fire bombs has been pictured in his mugshot.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, appears glaring in his mugshot, exhibiting bruises and a large bandage on the right side of his face following his arrest linked to a terrorist incident.
The assault, resulting in injuries to eight individuals, occurred while a gathering was taking place at the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder to raise awareness about Israeli captives in Gaza.
Eight people were left suffering burn wounds, but no victims have died, the Boulder Police Department said.
Soliman hid behind bushes during the event and allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail into the crowd.
He is accused of using a makeshift flamethrower to set several people on fire while screaming, “Free Palestine!”
Soliman was wearing a bulletproof vest and took off his shirt after he appeared to catch himself on fire.
Witnesses at the scene pointed him out as the man responsible for the violent crime, leading to his arrest.
Video from the scene showed Soliman shirtless and lying on the ground before cops handcuffed him and put him in a cop car.
He was injured in the attack and taken to a hospital before being booked in jail, cops said.
His bond was set at $10 million.
Soliman has been officially charged with a range of preliminary offenses such as first-degree murder, despite the fact that no fatalities were reported as a consequence of the assault, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.
He’s also charged with using explosives or an incendiary device while committing a felony, police said.
Prosecutors are still deciding which charges to file against him as another press conference is expected on Monday.
