Police in Sweden are hunting an arsonist suspected of torching a Muslim school before nearly running over a police officer during the getaway.
Malmo police spokesman Clas Svensson said the fire late Saturday in the south-western city was under control and no one was hurt.
According to Swedish news agency TT, a police patrol car tried to attempt to halt the suspected getaway vehicle, with officers opening fire when it failed to stop.
Police were still searching for the suspected arsonist on Sunday.
There have been several attacks against schools and refugee centres in the Scandinavian country, which has one of the highest per capita migrant intakes in Europe.
