An unidentified woman was filmed lighting a LGBT pride flag outside a restaurant in New York City. The flames from the arson attempt reached an apartment building on top of the restaurant, but the woman had sped away, report CBS News.
Residents smelled smoke, fled their homes, but no one was injured.
Erik Bottcher, a Democratic New York city council member, brought a new flag to the restaurant and called the woman out as a bigot on Instagram.
