Malmo police spokesman Clas Svensson says the fire late Saturday in the southwestern city was under control and no one was hurt.

Mia Sandgren, a regional police spokeswoman told the Swedish news agency TT that a patrol car tried to stop the suspected getaway vehicle but it failed to stop and officers fired at the vehicle. Police were still searching for the suspected arsonist on Sunday.
