British Dancer Detained in Car Arson.
(From The Moscow Times)
Amid a wave of car arsons that hit the city in recent weeks, a British dancer was detained in southwestern Moscow on suspicion of setting fire to a Mercedes, city police said Thursday.
Police detained Alistair Pani, 38, at around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday after he tried to torch a Mercedes E190 on Ulitsa Admirala Rudneva on the city's southwestern outskirts, said Marina Molokova, spokeswoman for the city police's southwestern district branch.
With the help of a flammable liquid, Pani tried to set fire to the car's right front tire at around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, prompting witnesses to report a small blaze to police, Molokova said. A street-sweeper extinguished the small fire, and Pani was detained without incident 15 minutes later at the near by Ulitsa Gorchakova metro station, she said.
Only the car's tire was damaged, Molokova said.
Pani told police that he is dancer in local nightclubs and has been renting an apartment in the neighborhood since February, Molokova said.
One elderly woman who lives in an apartment building near the scene of the purported crime said she witnessed Pani's arrest from her window.
