Police in the suburbs of New York City have announced the first arrest made under a new local law banning face masks. The incident took place near the Levittown and Hicksville town line, about 30 miles east of Manhattan.
Authorities responded to reports of a suspicious person on Sunday night and found an 18-year-old individual wearing black clothing and a black ski mask that covered his face, except for his eyes. The resident displayed suspicious behavior, including attempting to conceal a large knife in his waistband and refusing to comply with officers' commands.
