The FBI has released surveillance images of a man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail-style device at a federal building housing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in downtown Atlanta.
The incident happened Tuesday, at the building at 180 Ted Turner Drive. The FBI said the attempted arson occurred around 8:14 p.m., while Atlanta police placed the incident at approximately 9:30 p.m.
No one was injured, and the device did not ignite. The building sustained no visible damage, according to reports. The suspect fled south on Ted Turner Drive and remained at large as of Wednesday.
Investigators described the man as having a slender to athletic build, a medium to dark complexion and dark hair that was fuller on top with shorter sides. He wore dark-rimmed glasses, a black T-shirt with a white graphic on the left chest, tan cargo-style pants and black athletic shoes. He was also carrying a white plastic bag.
The FBI has not identified the suspect or announced any arrests. Investigators have not disclosed a motive, and no individual or group has claimed responsibility for the incident.
