ADANA

A cyclist has been detained after attempting to set a police car on fire in the southern province of Adana, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

The incident occurred in Adana’s Seyhan district after traffic police seized 62-year-old Mustafa Koldaş’s electric bicycle for not having his driver’s license on him and driving without a number plate on the vehicle.

The police confiscated and parked the electric bicycle in a parking area, where Koldaş later went to with plastic bottles filled with fuel. He was caught by the police after pouring fuel into the engine of the vehicle.

Koldaş was taken to the police station for interrogation after medical examinations.
