A 24-year-old man is said to have set fire to a planned refugee shelter in Leipzig's Thekla district. According to the police, they were informed of the fire by a local resident on Saturday night. A wooden pallet was burning on the wall of the building.
The police officers extinguished the flames with a fire extinguisher from their patrol car and were able to prevent the fire from spreading. Anti-refugee slogans and unconstitutional symbols had also been daubed on the house.
