The explosive scene erupted at around 8am following a disagreement in the deli, ending in 33-year-old suspect Joel Mangal being charged with arson, assault, and other offenses.
Mangal left the bodega and placed two Molotov cocktails on the floor before lighting one and throwing it into the store. Luckily a passerby prevented him from deploying the second by knocking it from his hand.
The fire service got the blaze under control as workers inside managed to escape largely unscathed for the most part, with only one worker being provided medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
