Liege

The man was controlled, not without difficulty, by the police

Wake-up fight, Monday night, Grace-Hollogne! At approximately 7:10 pm, police and firefighters were warned that a particularly excited man was walking on the street and was planning to burn himself to the fire, as well as set his family's house on fire.

Arrived at the scene , the security forces had a lot of difficulty in reasoning the madman who was … partially committed to the act insofar as he had sprinkled himself with gasoline and also poured flammable liquid on the facade of the house

Given the prevailing heat and the probability of having gasoline vapor and a risk of explosion at the slightest spark, many residents were evacuated from their homes.

Finally, the madman was controlled at 19 h 50. It was immediately copiously watered by firefighters to avoid any risk of fire. The neighboring houses then suffered the same fate.

It turned out that the guy was wanted by the police in the context of a spousal abuse case that was initiated on Sunday following a complaint.

The man was therefore deprived of his liberty and should be transferred to the Liège prosecutor's office on Tuesday for domestic violence and attempted arson.
