As York entered the lobby, the second victim was exiting an elevator at which time York directed obscenities at him and threatened to beat him.
Police said that a short time later, as one of the victims was sitting on a bench outside the building, York lifted one end of the bench up, causing the man to fall on the ground at which time York allegedly told the men he called four of his friends to come shoot them. York allegedly further threatened the men during the incident, shouting obscenities at them centering around their Muslim faith and at one point saying"this is America" while demanding that they get out of the country.Officials said an investigation from Lombard police led them to identify York, who was arrested at a bar in Lombard on Wednesday without incident.
