Governor Kathy Hochul Directs Hate Crimes Task Force to Offer Assistance in Yeshiva of Flatbush Arson Investigation

"At around 7:30PM last night, an unidentified individual poured gasoline in front of the Yeshiva of Flatbush and ignited it. Thankfully, there were no injuries, but I want to make it very clear that this cowardly act of hate has no home here in New York. No child should ever be made to feel unsafe, especially in a place of learning. I have directed the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to provide any assistance necessary in the New York City Police Department's investigation. I will be monitoring the situation closely as we await further details on the investigation."
