NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Two Brooklyn lawyers pleaded guilty to charges in a Molotov cocktail attack during Black Lives Matter protests last year.

Prosecutors say Urooj Rahman threw a gasoline-filled bottle into an empty police van and then took off in a minivan driven by Colinford Mattis.

The fiery attack happened during protests in May 2020.

The pair could face up to 10 years in prison when they're sentenced on Feb. 8.
