"A woman set fire to a Pride flag hanging from a Manhattan restaurant early on Monday morning in an incident that is being investigated as a possible hate crime, the New York Times reports. The fire took place around 1:35 a.m. at Little Prince in Soho when a white SUV came to an abrupt stop in front of the restaurant, a woman emerged from the passenger side and set fire to the rainbow flag using a handheld lighter before driving off. The French restaurant was closed at the time of the incident and no one was injured; the fire resulted in a temporary evacuation of upstairs apartments, which suffered cracked windows and minor external damage, according to the Times." - Luke Fortney
