BOSTON — A former Boston City Hall employee hired under Mayor Michelle Wu will stay behind bars after a judge denied bail on Friday, citing public safety concerns following a wild dashcam confrontation that’s since gone viral on social media, according to WCVB.

Nasiru Ibrahim, 25, appeared in Suffolk Superior Court for a dangerousness hearing, where prosecutors described him as a “clear risk to the community.” They pointed to dramatic footage showing a Massachusetts State Trooper diving into Ibrahim’s moving car during a July 30 traffic stop in South Boston — a scene now seen by thousands online.

In the video, the trooper can be seen clinging to the vehicle as it lurches forward before deploying a Taser. Police say Ibrahim fired back with a Taser of his own, striking the officer, before troopers found a Glock-style pistol converted for full-auto fire hidden in the car.

Prosecutors say Ibrahim’s criminal record runs seven pages long, including convictions for assault to murder. They argued he posed an ongoing threat to the community — and the judge agreed.

Outside court, defense attorney Peter Marano told WCVB, “It’s a young, Black man in a car in South Boston — that’s the basis for being pulled over.” He called the stop unconstitutional and accused police of racial profiling.

Ibrahim worked for the city’s Property Management Department and was fired after his arrest. But his case is only the latest controversy tied to Mayor Wu’s hiring record, which has repeatedly come under fire for bringing alleged criminals and activists with violent histories into City Hall.

Earlier this year, Mass Daily News first reported that Daunasia Yancey — a deputy director in the City’s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement and founder of Black Lives Matter Boston — was arrested in April and later placed on administrative leave. While City Hall has said employment actions follow due process, the incident, along with the Ibrahim case, has renewed discussion about how the city handles staff oversight and background reviews.

With Friday’s ruling, Ibrahim remains held without bail until his next court appearance on November 14 — as Wu’s City Hall faces fresh questions about who she’s putting on the taxpayer dime.
