Kicked-out patron 'tries to burn down pub'
A man allegedly tried to set fire to a Melbourne hotel after he and two others were ejected just minutes earlier.
The man was involved in a dispute at the hotel in Acland Street, St Kilda, about 9pm yesterday, and he and two others were thrown out, police said.
The man got into a taxi, went to a service station, bought a fuel can, filled it with petrol and returned to the hotel, where he tried to ignite the petrol, it is alleged.
There were 300 people inside the hotel at the time.
Security staff apprehended the man and phoned police.
Police interviewed the man, 35, of Moorabbin, but have not laid charges.
Briggsy has been put on high alert after it was discovered that one D Cramp was considering taking similar action in 'retribution' for his ANZAC Day meltdown and consequent ban earlier this year
