BROOKLYN — A man threw a Molotov cocktail into a 24-hour Borough Park market early Wednesday after an argument with an employee, police said.

About an hour later he came back and threw the explosive device into the store.
The employee’s hair and jacket caught on fire, but he suffered only minor injuries.
Another store employee who answered the phone Wednesday afternoon said there was also little damage to the market and that it had already reopened.
Police described the suspect as 30 to 40 years old, between five feet eight inches and five feet 10 inches tall. He was wearing sunglasses and a dark hooded sweatshirt.
