Arrest After Attack on Homeless Sleeping Area

Behind this privacy screen slept a 46-year-old man, who woke up due to the smoke and extinguished the fire. This led to a verbal argument, during which the 63-year-old allegedly set his dog on the 46-year-old, according to investigations. He then left the scene.

Both men notified the police. The older man accused the homeless person of bicycle theft, which, according to the police, was not confirmed on site. The suspect was arrested. A breathalyzer test showed around 0.5 per mille. In an initial interrogation, the man confessed to starting the fire because, according to his statement, there are "constant problems" with homeless people. However, he did not expect anyone to be behind the privacy screen.
