A 66-year-old man was arrested Saturday morning and charged with setting a fire outside the Jewish Museum of Maryland.

Baltimore Police announced a “hate crime arrest,” saying Assadollah Hashemi, of the 700 block of Druid Park Lake Drive, was taken into custody at his home. It was not clear what crimes the man is charged with.

Police said they identified Hashemi and got a warrant for his arrest Friday. Hashemi has a history of fire-related crimes, police said.

The incident, which was caught on a security camera system, occurred Sunday night outside the museum at Lloyd Street and Watson Street.

Museum officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment Saturday.

Howard Libit, the executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council, said Wednesday a construction crew working on renovations at the institution on Monday found the remnants of the fire at the foot of the museum entrance, sandwiched between two historic synagogues. The construction crew later reported the property damage.

The museum has been closed to the public for renovations over the last year.
