Someone threw a brick and a makeshift Molotov cocktail through a glass front door at Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 headquarters early Wednesday, authorities said.
The flaming device – a lit wick or cloth in a Corona beer bottle – burned itself out after hitting the floor, FOP financial secretary Michael Trask said.
Shortly after 5 a.m., a witness saw a man in black hurl the brick and bottle, then run through the parking lot next to the building at Broad and Spring Garden Streets, authorities said.
What motivated the would-be arsonist is a mystery. “No calls. No threats,” Trask said, adding that a surveillance camera at a nearby ATM might yield some clues.
