Mankato police said they’ve issued a citation to a man who lit fireworks near the Islamic Center of Mankato, which had prompted fears of an anti-Muslim attack. Members of the Islamic Center of Mankato say the man attempted to set part of their mosque on fire as part of a “brazen” act on Sunday afternoon.

Around 12:00 p.m. this past Sunday, surveillance video from a mosque in Mankato shows a man approaching a fence in front of the house of worship, and using a firecracker to try and start a fire.The wet conditions snuffed it out and a worshiper inside the mosque eventually chased the man away.

After a tension filled day following an incident Sunday near the Mankato Islamic Center initially feared as an arson attack, the police have a more benign explanation, but anger remains.
