   A Brooklyn landlord was charged with eight counts of attempted murder   
   after he allegedly set one of his buildings on fire in a dispute with   
   tenants over unpaid rent.   
      
   Rafiqul Islam was arrested by FDNY marshals for allegedly igniting the   
   blaze in an interior stairwell of a property he owns at 212 Forbell St. in   
   Cypress Hills in the early morning of Sept. 26, fire officials said.   
      
   Islam was apparently enraged that his second-floor tenants had stopped   
   paying rent and refused to move out, so he allegedly decided to force them   
   out by starting the fire, according to investigators.   
      
   A family of eight — six children and two adults — were home when the place   
   went up in flames, but all were able to escape to safety.   
      
   Unable to run down the stairs — where the fire was started — they ran to   
   the second-story roof of the building, where the parents tossed four of   
   their children into the arms of neighbors on the ground, according to   
   AMNY. The remaining two children were carried out by firefighters while   
   the parents jumped from the roof.   
      
   The family immediately suspected their landlord had intentionally set the   
   fire to force them out of their home, the outlet reported. He allegedly   
   threw black tar on the front door and threatened to burn them out of their   
   apartment before the September blaze.   
      
   Fire marshals obtained surveillance footage showing a hooded, masked man   
   entering and leaving the building before the fire started.   
      
   They then spent four weeks gathering, and pouring over, any video   
   available from cameras in the area before they finally found an image of   
   Islam with his hood and mask down, matching the suspect, fire officials   
   said.   
      
   He was arrested on Oct. 26 and charged with eight counts of attempted   
   murder, assault and arson.
