A 50-year-old homeless man set fire to several stalls at the Viktualienmarkt in Munich. The fire was so far under control and the suspected perpetrator had also already been caught.
The juice bar owners have covered everything as best they can with tarpaulins and pallets. Michaela Schmidt now wants to lobby the market management to ensure that a security service patrols the market at night between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., "preferably with a dog" The current damage to their stand is probably five figures, as the roof was also affected, says the juice bar owner. The police spokesman told our editorial team that the man was a homeless man who was already known to the officers for other crimes. He was arrested by a couple from Scandinavia who saw the crime and held the man until the police arrived, says Michaela. Schmidt now hopes that her insurance company will pay for the damage, because there is probably not much to be gained from the homeless man.
