Christopher Khamis Victor Husary, 36, of Hayward, faces charges of second-degree robbery, grand larceny and arson in connection with a Jan. 6 clash between pro-Israel supporters and Palestinians over the war in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

Husary pushed a woman carrying an Israeli flag and set her on fire, and grabbed another Israeli flag that was being carried on the shoulders of a second woman, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the First Amendment is fundamental to our democracy, it does not protect against threats, injury, intimidation or property damage,\u201d District Attorney Diana Becton said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Husary was arrested at his home on Wednesday, El Cerrito police said. Although the suspect in the case was wearing a face covering, police said members of the public helped them identify Husary.<\/span><\/p>\n
