Standing in the corridor connecting Rash’s front bar to the club’s rear dance space, a man described by the police as “approximately 20 to 30 years of age, 5-feet-9-inches tall, and 180 pounds” wearing a backpack, winter coat, and hoodie, calmly empties out his canister, flicks a match, and disappears as the entire frame is engulfed in flame. The security cam footage released by the NYPD is dramatic, but offers no insights. The arsonist disappeared as quickly as he came. Since last Sunday, the police haven’t been able to track down any leads. “It didn’t end well, but it could’ve been so much worse.” “We’re so thankful for that,” Sillen said. There were 60 firefighters, it was pretty much chaos.” Speaking last Tuesday, Sillen stressed that, despite the destruction, an attack any later in the night would’ve been catastrophic. There was smoke coming out of the building. Jake Sillen, co-owner of Rash, rushed over after receiving a call, arriving at the same time as the police.
