ISIS link in B’klyn cop stab and shoot

An illegal immigrant who stabbed an NYPD officer in the neck and then opened fire on cops earlier this year is an ISIS supporter who confessed “my religion made me do it,” federal prosecutors alleged Wednesday.

Brooklyn prosecutors made the allegation as they announced a federal grand jury had indicted Bosnian Dzenan Camovic, 20, for the June incident, which unfolded against the backdrop of nationwide protests over the police killing of George Floyd.

“Dzenan Camovic, an illegal alien and Bosnian national, is alleged to have used the cover of chaos during recent civil unrest in New York City to launch a premeditated and cowardly attack from behind against two New York City police officers,” said Attorney General William Barr in a statement.

Camovic — a Muslim man living in Brooklyn — allegedly ambushed two officers who were on foot patrol near Flatbush and Church avenues just before midnight on June 3, officials said.

After allegedly stabbing one cop in the neck, he unsuccessfully tried to slice the other officer, court papers say. He then allegedly ran back to the first officer, snatched his gun and opened fire on responding cops. He shot one officer in the hand and another in the arm, prosecutors claim. Cops returned fire, striking him multiple times before taking him into custody. Camovic allegedly supported ISIS and had used the dark Web and various forms of encryption to hide his online activity, according to federal prosecutors.
