A nightclub in Bushwick, Brooklyn, was targeted by an arsonist Sunday night (April 3). A man wearing a black hoodie and a backpack covered the floor at Rash—a new venue that opened just five months ago—in a clear liquid and set it on fire, injuring two and causing significant damage to the building.
