A man sought by police for his role in an arson attack at the Al Marjan restaurant in South Melbourne suffered burns after igniting accelerant he had spread throughout the establishment. CCTV footage shows the attacker, driving a silver Mercedes-Benz, breaking into the restaurant before pouring accelerant on the floor. Moments later, he accidentally ignited the accelerant, which caught fire on his clothing. Authorities noted that this was the first of two attacks on the restaurant, and detectives emphasize the dangers of arson, advocating for community assistance in identifying arsonists.
This incident exemplifies the unpredictable nature of fire and the inherent dangers of arson; the perpetrator likely sustained significant burn injuries during the attack.
Arson attacks jeopardize not just businesses but also lives. We are committed to ending this criminal activity and require community support to do so.
