Boulder Antisemitic Attack: Suspect Used Makeshift Flamethrower, Six Injured On June 2nd, 2025, a disturbing incident unfolded in Boulder, Colorado, leaving six people injured in what officials are calling an antisemitic attack. The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was taken into custody. Video evidence shows Soliman, shirtless and carrying what appears to be an improvised flamethrower, targeting individuals at a weekly gathering of Jewish community members. "He was yelling 'Free Palestine' while attacking people," stated an eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous. The video clearly shows the suspect's actions and the resulting chaos. Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold confirmed the incident, stating, "Six victims are currently receiving medical care, with one sustaining very serious injuries."
