Police have arrested a woman suspected of pouring gasoline and setting fire to the front of a Flatbush yeshiva this week.
Sharee Jones, 39, is facing reckless endangerment as a hate crime and arson charges. She was arrested around 9 a.m. Sunday.
Video of Thursday’s incident shows a woman carrying a red gas cannister. A day later, police released a video of what appeared to be the same woman, yelling antisemitic remarks near that same yeshiva.
A security guard was able to put out the fire.
