Police arrested a Columbia University student after he allegedly threw an unlit Molotov cocktail from his dorm room on Monday night.
“Javen Jovero, a 22-year-old senior at the Ivy League college, sparked a panic when he filled a plastic bottle with rubbing alcohol and a sock and hurled it from a dormitory on the school’s East Campus,” the New York Post reported.
Thankfully, no one was injured from the makeshift bomb, but police did receive multiple 911 calls from fearful students around 8:30 p.m.
Jovero — an economics major and a member of Columbia’s wrestling team — was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, the police said.
