Ueckermünde (dpa / mv) - In a clinic in Ueckermünde (Vorpommern-Greifswald), a patient is said to have set fire to his mattress and thus triggered a fire brigade.

The 28-year-old fled on Thursday but was arrested shortly afterwards in the city, the police said.

The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire quickly, it said.

All 27 patients were reportedly uninjured and were transferred to another ward.

A 54-year-old nurse was treated with suspected smoke inhalation.
