The FDNY say someone threw what appears to be a Molotov cocktail at a mosque in Jamaica, Queens.
It happened at the Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center on the Van Wyck Expressway.
A small fire broke out as a result, but was put out by the time firefighters arrived at the scene.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Units is investigating.
So far they’ve made no arrests.
Nearby, a Jamaica resident says someone threw two Molotov cocktails at his home at 89th Avenue and 170th Street.
A small fire was quickly put out by the fire department and there were no injuries.

I hope they try hard to catch the perpetrator. The police have to show that hate crimes will not go unpunished.
WIY, who says it was a “hate crime”? It’s far more likely to be an inside job.
