Man Denied Alcohol Tosses Molotov Cocktail Into Store

Baltimore City police are searching for a man they said threw a Molotov cocktail inside a west Baltimore store.

Police said a man entered the J&H Liquor Store on Frederick Avenue and attempted to purchase alcohol. When the owner of the store asked for identification, police said the man became combative, began yelling obscenities, and spitting and hitting Plexiglas inside the store.

Moments later, police said the man left the store, but threw a Molotov cocktail back into the store.


Anyone with information about the man is asked to call the Arson Unit at 410-396-2645.
