SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A reportedly “emotionally disturbed” NY woman has been arrested after she threw a pot of flaming grease at firefighters responding to a fire at her apartment.
Fatima Darby, 24, was charged with arson, reckless endangerment, obstructing government administration and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Associated Press.
Firefighters forced their way into Darby’s burning apartment late Sunday afternoon when she threw the grease on them, but missed. No firefighters were injured and were able to extinguish the fire. Darby was also uninjured. Her 1-year-old son has been removed and taken to the hospital for evaluation.
