Lawyers accused of torching NYPD car with Molotov cocktail offered plea deal

The pair faced life behind bars when they were indicted last summer on charges including arson, conspiracy and use of explosives.

As anti-cop protesters faced off with police outside the 88 Precinct stationhouse on May 29, Rahman allegedly tossed a Molotov cocktail at an empty NYPD van nearby.

Mattis acted as the wheelman during the firebombing and drove off after the van ignited, but the two were arrested a short while later, prosecutors allege.

Prosecutors said in a detention memo at the time that they were trying to pass out Molotov cocktails to protesters at the demonstration.
