CID suspects
Homeless man wanted to warm himself: Seven injured
A freezing homeless person probably wanted to keep warm and started a fire in the cellar of a residential building in the center of Linz. At least that is what the Linz police suspect was the cause of the fire. Seven people were injured in the incident.
"Originally, arson was assumed. In the meantime, however, the investigators suspect that a homeless person wanted to keep warm and therefore started a fire, but did not intend to commit arson," says Ulrike Handlbauer from the press office of the Upper Austrian regional police headquarters.
As reported, a fire broke out in the basement of a residential building from the turn of the century at Südtiroler Straße 26 on Sunday night. 17 residents were treated, seven of whom had to be taken to hospital.
