Overview

• The fire broke out Wednesday evening at Las Postas café in Los Palacios y Villafranca in Spain’s Sevilla province.
• Owners released video appearing to show a man returning after being refused mayonnaise twice, pouring roughly 1.5 litres of petrol over the bar, and igniting it.
• Customers and staff evacuated as workers used a fire extinguisher to contain the blaze, and a waiter chased the suspect from the scene.
• Guardia Civil officers arrested a 50-year-old from Córdoba province near the restaurant, and he was treated for burns to a hand at a local health center.
• Police have opened an investigation, estimate damages at about €7,000 from local accounts, and report disputed injury claims as the owner says only the suspect was hurt while some witnesses allege others were injured; the man is reported to be due in court today.
