A woman has been arrested and charged with multiple hate crimes after she allegedly set fire to an LGBTQ pride flag hanging outside of a NYC restaurant.
This is Cando’s third arrest in the past month, according to public records. Cando was arrested on Jan. 30 in connection with a domestic violence case and charged with several misdemeanors, including assault with the intention to cause physical injury. She was arrested again on Feb. 2 and charged with menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.
Defense attorney Eugene Nathanson, who said he is representing Cando in the pride flag case and the Feb. 2 incident, declined to comment. Defense attorney Mathew Mari, who’s representing Cando in the Jan. 30 incident, did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment. After the NYPD announced Cando’s arrest, New York City Council Member Erik Bottcher, who represents large swaths of lower Manhattan and is gay,thanking authorities and the community for amplifying the surveillance footage. He ended his post with a warning.
“Anyone who is contemplating attacks against the LGBTQ community, or any marginalized group, should know they will be held accountable,” Bottcher wrote. The incident at the Manhattan restaurant is one among a slew of violent attacks against LGBTQ establishments, figures or symbols in New York City within the past year.
