Bystanders saw that the man was near the car around 7.40 pm, where the flames broke out shortly afterwards. The police had to let firemen wait before they could extinguish fire to “create a safe work situation,” says a police spokesperson.
During the arrest, a police dog was deployed, who bitten the suspect. This is ‘looked at medically’. The man is suspected of involvement in the fire.
Scale
A spokesperson for the safety region tells NH that it soon had to be scaled up, because the car was surrounded by narrow streets. “The chance that something will happen is greater because everything is close together.” The fire and the arrest provided many spectators, according to the spokesperson.
When the police indicated that the situation was safe, the fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire. It is not clear whether other vehicles or homes are damaged.
