(CNN) — The New York Police Department arrested a 39-year-old Brooklyn woman Sunday in connection with a suspected arson at the Jewish school Yeshiva of Flatbush, according to a tweet from the department.

The incident took place Thursday around 7:30 p.m. when police said a woman poured gasoline in front of the Yeshiva and lit it on fire. A security guard for the building saw the fire and doused it with water, extinguishing the fire before it could grow.

There were no injuries as a result of this incident, police said.

The Brooklyn woman was charged with reckless endangerment as a hate crime and fifth-degree arson, police said. NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force (HCTF) detectives, assisted by Manhattan/Queens Warrants arrested the woman, according to the department's tweet.

1. What is wrong with her?

It’s a school..most likely with children inside. Thankfully they got her..now, lock her up for a very long time. No plea agreement..no mercy for these hateful people

2. It would be interesting to see why she did it.

There are those who have already decided this is a case of mental illness, which, in some ways, is correct because hate is a mental illness. However, as per usual, when it comes to attacks against Jews, there are those always with the quick excuse, and lighting-fast pivot away from any discussion of the problem of anti-Semitism in this country and throughout the world.

We shall see what, if anything, comes of this.
