Man faces nearly a decade in prison for stomping on man's head at Navy Yard Metro Station
WASHINGTON () — A man was sentenced to under a decade in prison for a violent assault that happened at a metro station last summer. The charges against 20-year-old Rashad King stem from an unprovoked incident that happened at the Navy Yard Metro Station shortly before midnight on July 20, 2024. The U.S. Attorney's Office (USAO) said King approached a man and started punching him until he fell to the ground. He then stomped on the victim's head more than 20 times before taking his bag. 'No Kings' events to protest Trump, military parade happening Saturday He used the bag as a weapon to strangle the man for about eight seconds and then fled from the station, court documents described. An off-duty FBI agent saw the encounter and saw King get on a Metrobus. He then flagged down a police officer and pointed him out, leading to his arrest. Officers gave the victim aid until medics arrived. At the time, he was reportedly unconscious and had 'massive swelling to the right side of his face,' according to court documents. Due to his severe injuries, he was not able to provide an immediate statement. His injuries were life-threatening and resulted in a broken nose, a brain bleed and stitches to his face. He was expected to have permanent brain damage. King pleaded guilty earlier this year to aggravated assault while armed. He was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison and ordered to undergo five years of supervised release. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ex-con used AI to make bombs, threw 2 in river, left 1 on NYC bridge, documents say
NEW YORK — An ex-con used artificial intelligence to build several explosive devices but then got cold feet, apparently tossing two of them in the East River, with another found ditched on the Williamsburg Bridge subway tracks and a fourth one in the bag he was carrying when the FBI arrested him in Manhattan, according to federal court documents and a law enforcement official. Shotgun shells and explosive materials were also found in a dumpster in Chelsea, the documents said. The suspect, Michael Gann, who is in his 50s, was arrested last Thursday and charged in Manhattan Federal Court with unlawful possession of a destructive device and transportation of explosive materials. The official described him as emotionally disturbed and said it wasn't clear what prompted him to build the devices. The documents, however, described Gann a day before his arrest mixing explosives in the presence of a military veteran, one of two witnesses in the case. 'What kind of veteran are you?' Gann is quoted saying. 'You see a problem in the neighborhood and you do nothing about it?' Gann then pointed to a nearby Jewish school, the documents say. The location of the school was not revealed but the documents indicate Gann, after using AI and watching online videos, ordered materials — including perchlorates, which are industrial chemicals used in rockets and fireworks, that he sent to an address in Inwood, in Nassau County. The law enforcement official said Gann had been staying with someone in Inwood and that authorities were tipped by someone with whom he had spoken. When Gann was arrested, he was carrying a shoulder bag that he said he was going to drop off with the FDNY, the documents said. He also urged the agents not to light a match near the bag 'because there could be a big fireball.' Gann had twice previously tested the chemicals, the documents said, each time creating a small explosion, the second one blinding the veteran for about 20 seconds, Inside the bag was a homemade explosive device, binoculars, a pocketknife and a torch lighter. The documents said that Gann, shortly before his arrest, called the supplier from whom he bought the chemicals and asked if he could return them. The supplier denied the request and suggested Gann put them in water or throw them away. Gann has about 30 previous arrests and three felony convictions, the documents said. His lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.

Afghan man accused of planning an Election Day attack in the US pleads guilty
An Afghan man in Oklahoma accused of planning an Election Day attack in the US on behalf of the Islamic State group pleaded guilty Friday to terrorism-related charges in federal court. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, pleaded guilty to two offenses: conspiring and providing support to the Islamic State group, and attempting to receive firearms to commit a federal crime of terrorism. The Islamic State is designated by the US as a foreign terrorist organization. Tawhedi faces up to 35 years in prison. 'The defendant admits he planned and obtained firearms to carry out a violent terror attack on Election Day in 2024, a plot that was detected and disrupted through the good work of the FBI and our partners,' FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. A phone message was left seeking comment from Craig Hoehns, an attorney for Tawhedi. Tawhedi was living in Oklahoma City last year when he acquired two AK-47-style rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition to target large crowds, according to court documents. Authorities said he had conspired with multiple people, including his brother-in-law, Abdullah Haji Zada, for several months to plot out the attack. Zada, who was 17 at the time, was charged as an adult and pleaded guilty in April. He faces up to 15 years in prison. Tawhedi arrived in the US in September 2021 on a special immigration visa shortly after the capital city of Afghanistan, Kabul, was captured by the Taliban. At the time of his arrest on October 7, Tawhedi was on parole while his immigration status was pending, according to the Justice Department. His parole status has since been revoked. FBI agents had testified earlier that Tawhedi, who worked as a rideshare driver and at auto shops, was under surveillance for more than a month before his arrest.
