That Would Be Suspicious

The Post reports that the Greenpoint Terminal Market blaze was, according to eyewitnesses, definitely arson:

The raging inferno that ripped through a historic Brooklyn warehouse complex yesterday was immediately labeled suspicious — and eyewitnesses told cops they saw a man pouring a flammable liquid on an adjacent rooftop amid the blaze.

The possible arson at the former Greenpoint Terminal Market was the second blaze in as many years to be labeled suspicious in a building owned by developer Joshua Guttman, authorities said.

Witness Sean Vegezzi told The Post that he and some pals ran to the former terminal with their cameras at around 10 a.m. after hearing about the blaze and scurried up to one of the buildings’ rooftops to take photos.

There, he said, they spotted a man pouring what looked like flammable motor oil into an elevator shaft.

“I said, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ And he started running down the catwalk,” said Vegezzi, 16.

The teen said that moments earlier, they had seen the same man stuffing sticks and brush into a drainage pipe along the side of the building.

“He didn’t light it, but it looked like he was going to until me and my friends approached him,” he said.

Vegezzi described the man as slim, middle-aged, with graying hair and wearing a beige T-shirt and khakis.

He said that as he and his pals were reporting what they saw to the cops, a man who identified himself as Guttman approached the group.

Vegezzi said the man kept repeating, “It’s not one of my guys, it’s not one of my guys,” before adding to cops, “You’d better catch this guy.”
