    The boy was charged as a juvenile with attempted assault and aggravated harassment as a hate crime.

    He was arrested Friday for allegedly trying to light a girl’s blouse on fire in Bryant Park — one of three similar attacks that occurred Sept. 10. The girl’s mother chased him away.

    In another incident, a woman wearing traditional Muslim clothing had her blouse set on fire. She patted out the fire and noticed a man standing nearby holding a lighter. The man then walked away.

    Police are looking for four more people in connection with the attacks.
