(CNN) The New York Police Department arrested a 39-year-old Brooklyn woman Sunday in connection with a suspected arson at the Jewish school Yeshiva of Flatbush, according to a tweet from the department.
The incident took place Thursday around 7:30 p.m. when police said a woman poured gasoline in front of the Yeshiva and lit it on fire. A security guard for the building saw the fire and doused it with water, extinguishing the fire before it could grow.
There were no injuries as a result of this incident, police said.
The Brooklyn woman was charged with reckless endangerment as a hate crime and fifth-degree arson, police said. NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force (HCTF) detectives, assisted by Manhattan/Queens Warrants arrested the woman, according to the department's tweet.

(53,956 posts)There are those who have already decided this is a case of mental illness, which, in some ways, is correct because hate is a mental illness. However, as per usual, when it comes to attacks against Jews, there are those always with the quick excuse, and lighting-fast pivot away from any discussion of the problem of anti-Semitism in this country and throughout the world.
We shall see what, if anything, comes of this.
