Gas Pump Set Ablaze: Indictment for Attempted Murder - Man charged with attempted murder after setting petrol station ablaze in Germany
A man has been charged with attempted murder after setting fire to a petrol station in Heusenstamm last summer. The incident took place in late August, though no one was injured. Police confirmed the suspect had previously been banned from the premises due to harassing a female employee and pressuring her to accept his phone number. On the night of the fire, he returned while intoxicated and set alight a fuel pump. The case will now proceed to trial at the regional court, with prosecutors formally charging the man with attempted murder in connection with the arson. Investigators have not released his identity to the public. The trial will take place at the Landgericht Darmstadt, with authorities confirming the charges relate to the August arson at the Heusenstamm petrol station. No injuries were reported during the incident.
