Cops hunt for NYC synagogue firebug

 



A woman ignited a book and piece of cloth and hurled it through the gate of a Gramercy Park synagogue, according to police, who released video footage of the alleged firebug.

The disturbing incident — which is being investigated as a hate crime — happened at 1:30 a.m. Thursday at the Brotherhood Synagogue on Gramercy Park South, near 3rd Avenue, cops said.

There was no serious damage to the building, police said.

The NYPD late Friday night released a 16-second video clip seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect, who ran off.

The clip shows the woman — wearing glasses, dressed in black, carrying a green shopping bag and sporting a white baseball cap — walking.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s confidential Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

  1. Not a shul, a "Progressive" Conservative temple. They had a Cantor Ribowsky for a while who went off the derech after learning by R' Mottel Weinberg. Ribowsky's father in Flatbush was helping Leib Pinter put together those infamous treif sandwiches sold as "kosher" & was co-conspirator in Pinter criminal schemes. The Cantor's uncle Ribowsky, became a disbarred lawyer from Kew Gardens after running to be a fugitive in Israel when it was discovered he embezzled from his clients.
