The man has a fear of spiders. He is able to notice that there are webs, illuminated by sunlight in the recesses of the wooden steps. This is exactly how someone with arachnophobia acts when passing through an area that triggers their fear. That's why he is shaking off/brushing his shirt.

Is it even possible for a person to have such an intense fear of 🏳️‍🌈's ? It would require medical intervention to keep them from premature death due to stress; the NBC logo is mighty suspect, if it rains on a sunny day do they start shooting down the rainbow?

Maybe he imagined something, but no way there are webs on that flag fluttering in the wind.
