DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A man was arrested Monday for allegedly throwing two Molotov cocktails at a federal building in downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.

The incident happened just after 8:30 a.m. at the building at 300 N Los Angeles St.

Jose Francisco Jovel, 54, is accused of yelling "anti-ICE comments" and throwing the Molotov cocktails at officers who were guarding the building.

"The suspect was taken into custody and stated that he wanted to blow up the building and 'spray down' all the officers while making more derogatory comments about ICE officers," read a statement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The bottles were not lit, and no injuries were reported.

DHS said Jovel also had four knives and a Leatherman tool at the time of his arrest.
