BERLIN (AP) — Authorities say four people have been seriously hurt in an overnight fire at a hospital in Berlin, including a patient who sustained life-threatening injuries. A man was arrested on suspicion of starting the blaze. The fire service said that the fire on the third floor of the Klinikum am Urban in the German capital was extinguished early Monday morning. Police said the blaze appears to have started when a 48-year-old man set fire to two hospital beds shortly after midnight. He also tried to set a garbage can alight in a foyer, but firefighters prevented him from doing so.
