Police searching for person who poured gasoline on marked NYPD van during Bronx protest

FORDHAM HEIGHTS, The Bronx (WABC) -- Police are asking for help identifying a person who poured gasoline on a marked NYPD van.

The crime took place during a protest outside the 46 Precinct in Fordham Heights on Friday night.

Other demonstrators pushed barricades into police officers and threw eggs at a marked van.

The group was protesting a police-involved shooting last Sunday.

Police sources have identified 24-year-old Michael Rosado and 44-year-old Rafael Rosado as the gunmen involved in a deadly shoutout with police early Sunday in the Bronx.

The person who doused the van with gas could face state and federal charges.
