(DEARBORN HEIGHTS, MI) — A Lebanese-American family woke up in the middle of the night to a fire outside their home in Dearborn Heights, Michigan on Sunday.
The American and Lebanese flag were both lit when the homeowner looked outside his window just before 2 am.
“I heard some noise in the kitchen and I thought it was my daughter coming home from work,” he told FOX 2 News in Detroit. “I got up and here’s a man standing in my kitchen with a piece of wood with fire on top of it.”
The homeowner, who wants to stay anonymous, said this is the second time this happened in the past two weeks.
He describes the suspect as a man with a thin build about 5 feet 11 inches tall. The suspect was wearing a black hoodie and a black ski mask covering the face. The homeowner chased the suspect outside, but the suspect hopped the fence, he said.
“I’m going to put back the American flag and the Lebanese flag. That’s my house I can put whatever I want in there,” he said.
