A man is facing criminal charges after an ambulance was allegedly set on fire in Hamilton over the weekend.
Police say ambulance staff arrived at the Hamilton General Hospital and offloaded a patient around 6 a.m. on Sunday, and found the ambulance engulfed in flames when they returned.
Police say an investigation led them to a suspect who had allegedly tossed an accelerant into the ambulance and left on foot.
They say investigators used CCTV camera footage and eyewitness accounts.
A 31-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested at a bus stop nearby and charged with arson with disregard for human life and three counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
No injuries were reported as no one was inside the ambulance when the fire occurred.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 20, 2025.
