A 36-year-old man was arrested after throwing improvised explosives at two churches in Queens, New York, on Wednesday night.
Surveillance footage from one of the churches shows three individuals outside the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church when the man, dressed in a dark hoodie and pants, appears to throw a Molotov cocktail at the building.
The three bystanders got back into their car and left the scene as the man walked off in another direction.
A fourth bystander is seen throwing his arms up as he walks by.
WATCH:
Another firebombing occurred at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
More from CBS New York:
The suspect, identified as Yogesh Sayrange, is believed by police to be involved in a third incident as well.
Per ABC 7:
The suspect is accused of throwing an incendiary device at the front door of the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church on 75th Street in Ozone Park just after 11:35 p.m. on Wednesday.
Investigators say the Molotov cocktail bounced off the door and exploded on the ground, causing no damage to the building.
Police say the suspect then traveled to a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on 78th Street in Woodhaven, where he allegedly threw a second Molotov cocktail. That device also bounced off the door and exploded on the ground without damaging the building.
A third incident was then discovered at 76-9 Rockaway Boulevard in Cypress Hills. There was no damage to that building.
Authorities later located and arrested the 36-year-old suspect. Police say they recovered two additional Molotov cocktails from his bag at the time of his arrest.
