Man Accused of Church Molotov Attacks | New York City News
Description
A 36-year-old man, Yogesh Sayrange, faces federal charges after allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches and previously targeting a Brooklyn smoke shop — all while wearing a distinctive camouflage hoodie captured on surveillance. The Brooklyn attack, which caused major damage but no injuries, involved a homemade incendiary device made from a glass bottle and ignitable liquid. Investigators believe Sayrange discarded his disguise near a barbecue after the incident. Motive remains unknown, but prosecutors are pursuing charges under interstate commerce laws. Sayrange is currently jailed in Brooklyn, with his attorney yet to comment. The Queens church fires were quickly extinguished, and federal authorities expect to pursue charges there as well.
