British Muslim's hijab 'set on fire' on New York's Fifth Avenue

Police in New York are searching for a man who set a British Muslim's hijab on fire outside a boutique store on bustling Fifth Avenue. CCTV footage has been released in an attempt to find the man involved, who was brandishing a lighter before he fled the scene. Last month, an imam and his assistant were shot dead near their mosque in the New York borough of Queens, but an investigation has not determined whether it was an Islamophobic attack.
