BROOKLYN, N.Y. — A man is in custody for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails inside a Brooklyn deli over the weekend that caused massive damage.
Fire officials say it happened Saturday at a deli located at 496 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The FDNY says suspect Joel Mangal, 38, lit up a fire bomb and lobbed it into the store with a number of people inside.
He then attempted to throw another but was stopped by a bystander on the sidewalk.
Those inside the store escaped, with one suffering minor injuries.
