The NYPD made an arrest on Sunday in an anti-Semitic incident at Yeshiva of Flatbush this past Thursday, YWN reported.
News of the arrest was announced by NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea who visited Yeshiva of Flatbush on Sunday morning.
Arrested is Sharee Jones, 39-year-old female, of 1389 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY.
She has been charged with:
* Reckless Endangerment – Hate Crime
* Arson 5
Highly credible sources tell YWN that the woman is currently being evaluated at a psychiatric facility.
As YWN reported on Thursday, a black female dressed in all black clothing arrived at Yeshiva of Flatbush on Avenue J and East 17th Street at around 8:30PM and began yelling anti-Semitic obscenities. She then poured gasoline on the sidewalk from a container that she was holding and set it on fire.
She fled before police arrived.
The incident triggered a massive NYPD and Flatbush Shomrim response. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force as well as the FDNY Fire Investigation Unit were on the scene and worked tirelessly until they arrested her today.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea met with Yeshiva of Flatbush leaders on Sunday and announced the arrest. Joining the meeting was Brooklyn South Commanding Officer Assistant Chief Michael Kemper, Commanding Officer of the 70th Precinct David Wall, Commanding Officer of Citywide Community Affairs Deputy Inspector Richie Taylor, NYPD Clergy Liaison David Heskiel, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, Councilman Kalman Yeger, Mayor’s Office Assistant Commissioner Pinny Ringel, Head of Flatbush Yeshiva Rabbi Joseph Bayda, Flatbush Yeshiva Assistant Principal Rabbi David Galpert, Hatzolah CEO Yechiel Kalish, Flatbush Shomrim Coordinators Bob Moskovitz and Steve Weill, Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition Chair Josh Mehlman, Lieutenant Ira Jablon and community leader Mitch Vilinsky.
Flatbush Shomrim greatly assisted the NYPD at the scene on Thursday night as they canvassed the area for the suspect as well as retrieving security camera footage for police, YWN reported.
UPDATE: HCTF Detectives, assisted by Manhattan/Queens Warrants, apprehended this individual.
