Investigation is underway after a suspected arson that happened in O'Malley's Alley on Sunday evening.

Firefighters were dispatched to the incident at 8:01 p.m. after a paper towel dispenser in the restroom of O'Malley's was lit on fire by an unknown individual, causing damage to a wall and smoke damage throughout the building.

Witnesses who saw the incident recounted the event.

"I noticed the smoke and people running out of the building," said James Boyd, senior in biology. "Most people were on the streets watching when about five or six fire trucks showed up."

Ideal Cleaners and Tailors, which is next door to O'Malley's also had smoke damage from the fire, according to Lt. Steve McCallum of the Manhattan Fire Department.

Firefighters responded to the incident promptly, limiting damages to the building, said Nathan Moon, general manager at O'Malley's.

"They rushed into the building with picks and fire hoses," said Jonathan Williamson, freshman in art. "They had the fire extinguished in about five minutes."

No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.

"It looks a lot worse than it actually is," Moon said. "We will be back open on Wednesday."

No suspects have been named at this time.
