DENVER (KDVR) — The man accused of throwing incendiary devices at people on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall appeared before a federal judge on Friday afternoon on a federal hate crime charge.

The hearing took place on the heels of another state hearing that took place in Boulder on Thursday.

Mohamed Soliman sat in a jury box at the federal courthouse in downtown Denver for the entire hearing.

He was told about the hate crime charge.

Soliman said "yes" in Arabic through a translator when he was asked if he understood the court process and why he was there.

He was wearing a green jail uniform, and his hands and ankles were handcuffed.

A United States Marshall sat behind him.

The 45-year-old Egyptian national sat still and did not look at the full courtroom during the initial hearing.
