Police said Monday that they were looking for a man, seen on video, who set a fire inside a Bronx deli after getting into a fight with an employee.

It happened around 6 a.m. Sunday at a deli on White Plains Road in Williamsbridge.

People who worked at the deli told NY1 that the man, seen in the main story image above, got into a fight with the clerk after entering the story and asking for a free lighter.

He then left but returned 40 minutes later and started the blaze with a flammable liquid he doused in the front of, and inside, the store, according to police and the workers.

 



The man fled and the employee was put out the fire with water, police said. No injuries were reported and the store was not damaged.

 

The man was described as being in his 20s, wearing a black hoodie, a denim vest, and blue pants.
