The Muslim clock kid who was arrested in Texas after making a timepiece that was mistaken for a bomb was treated like a celebrity during a visit to City Hall on Monday.
"In New York! So awesome!!!" Texas science whiz Ahmed Mohamed, 14, tweeted this week as his family visited the Big Apple.
Ahmed received a proclamation from Public Advocate Letitia James, who called him a role model and let him sit in her chair in the council chambers.
