Busan Dongnae Police Station arrested a male suspect in his 60s on charges of setting a bar on fire Friday.

He is also accused of threatening the female owner of the bar with a weapon the day before the crime.

Police believe that the suspect burned the place out of anger because the owner kept on refusing to see him.
