The NYPD is investigating an arson incident that occurred in the Bronx, where a man was caught on video igniting a fire on the sidewalk outside an apartment building. The suspect, casually dressed, used a pushcart to transport gasoline and lit the fire before retreating calmly. Fortunately, two passersby managed to extinguish the flames without alerting authorities. The building owner, Katrina Curanaj, discovered the incident through surveillance footage after noticing a burn mark, expressing her fear for tenants' safety and recalling a previous tragic incident on the subway.
I saw the black spot. I rewound the camera. I saw flames. I panicked. My heart came out of my chest. I was like, 'What's going on?'.
I'm not going to sleep tonight because how about if I walk out of my building or one of my tenants walk out the building and this guy comes back.
Do you remember the incident of the girl getting burned on the train by somebody throwing gasoline on her and she burned? I don't want that to happen to one of my tenants or me.
A bottle with a liquid was found in the red bag left behind by the suspect.
