Bragg Indicts Serial Uptown Arsonist
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr., recently indicted Michael Patterson, 38, for allegedly committing a total of seven arsons across the Upper East Side and Upper West Side in 2025. Patterson has been charged with eight counts of arson. “In Manhattan, we take extremely seriously conduct that endangers our communities–whether to people or to property,” said Bragg.
