NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- An arsonist set two NYPD vehicles on fire in Manhattan on Monday night, police said.
The unoccupied cop cars were torched at E. 29th Street and Sixth Avenue in NoMad around 8:40 p.m.
The two vehicles—one marked and one unmarked—were heavily damaged in the fires, but no one was injured.
