Good thing it was raining, hence the umbrella defense ploy.

Notice the flame in the associated picture looks exactly like a map of Eretz Yisroel.

anon 8:56- you are right- it is an unmarked police car. another site said that after he stabbed the man, hatzalah & nypd showed up- so he ran into a building and started throwing molotov cocktails at the emergency help & hit a police car. no drug bust though.

Hillside Avenue has PLENTY of frum families, I used to live over there. It is a block away from Jamaica avenue, so it's not such a safe area, my neighbors kid once found a crack vial in front of their apartment. I don't miss living over there.

Ironically the car looks like an Undercover NYPD, black crown vic, center mounted antenna.
Sounds like a drug bust gone bad!

Cops: Man Throwing Molotov Cocktails at Cars in Queens
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City police say they have arrested a man accused of throwing Molotov cocktail from a rooftop onto a Queens street.
Police have not yet identified the suspect.
A limousine believed to be a livery car caught fire in the Richmond Hill neighborhood.
Several families on Hillside Avenue reportedly have been evacuated.
A neighbor told reporters that he had seen the man smoking a cigarette on the rooftop before he began throwing the flaming cocktails to the street below.
A neighbor of the suspect described him to reporters as "a quiet guy.''
