A 36-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly being the person seen on video throwing a Molotov cocktail at a house of worship in Queens, one of two he's accused of attacking Wednesday night, officials say.
Both attacks happened shortly before midnight, at Iglesia Bautista El Mesias and Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, on 75th and 78th streets, respectively, according to police. In both cases, the man allegedly threw a fireball at the front door. In each case, a fire started when it hit the ground.
The NYPD later linked him to another case, one involving an auto body shop on Rockaway Boulevard.
