NEW YORK – The New York City Hate Crimes Task Force launched an investigation after a woman tried to start a fire outside a Brooklyn Jewish school on Thursday.
Images released by NYPD on Friday show the suspect dressed in dark clothing walking outside the metal gates of Flatbush’s Yeshiva School around 7:30 p.m. as she dumped gasoline from a red container, police said. The woman then set the fuel on fire.
Fortunately, a security guard at the Jewish school was able to douse the flames with water and no one was injured, according to authorities.
The suspect fled on foot and has not been arrested, police said. No other information was immediately available.
Anyone with knowledge of the suspect can call 1-888-57-PISTA.
