Car set on fire in Haarlem, perpetrator flees

A vehicle parked on the Erasmuslaan in Haarlem was intentionally set on fire late yesterday evening around 11:45 PM. According to police, a perpetrator was recorded on video pouring a flammable liquid over the car's hood and igniting it. The suspect appears to have briefly caught fire themselves before fleeing the scene on a bicycle toward the Bertha Von Suttnerstraat. The individual was described as wearing all black and riding a men's bicycle equipped with a black crate on the front.

Thanks to the quick intervention of local bystanders, the damage to the vehicle was contained and prevented from spreading further. The authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident, which includes questioning members of the surrounding community. Police are still searching for the suspect and have requested that anyone with information regarding the incident come forward to assist with the ongoing inquiry.
