The New York City Police Department is offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to the arrest of a woman seen on video lighting a book and piece of cloth on fire before tossing them both at the entrance of a Manhattan synagogue at about 1 a.m. on May 19.
The suspect threw the flammable items through the front gate of the Brotherhood Synagogue on Gramercy Park, said police.
The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, according to reports.
A Crime Stoppers video of the suspect that was released over the weekend shows the woman walking down a sidewalk in all-black attire, wearing a white baseball cap and carrying a green bag.
