The surveillance video shows the suspect, covering his face with a shirt, lighting a fire at the stove behind the counter inside the restaurant and placing flammable items on top of the fire before leaving.
The suspect then reenters the restaurant, this time without the shirt covering his face, through what appears to be a window and adds fuel to the fire. He also grabs a nearby trash can and adds that to the fire as well.
Police said the suspect then stuck around to watch firefighters who responded to the scene before he was seen on surveillance going down the subway at 4:48 a.m.
