Attack on Pearl Street Mall, Boulder, Colorado By Alleged Illegal Immigrant
Four women and four men, aged 52 to 88, were transported to Denver metro hospitals, while Boulder police arrested Soliman—an Egyptian national and alleged illegal immigrant according to the DHS.
BOULDER, Colo. — On Sunday, June 1, 2025, suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly threw two Molotov cocktails at participants of a pro-Israel walk near 1303 Pearl Street in Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, leaving eight individuals injured. Although the incident was initially labeled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a “targeted terror attack,” Soliman’s charges were hate-crime related rather than terrorism-related.
Four women and four men, aged 52 to 88, were transported to Denver metro hospitals, while Boulder police arrested Soliman—an Egyptian national and alleged illegal immigrant according to the Department of Homeland Security—six minutes later at 1325 Pearl Street, where he faces state and federal hate crime charges and remains presumed innocent pending trial.
