"We understand he had a misunderstanding with the Embassy officials. When we came here earlier after the stone-throwing reports, he had left, only for him to return with gas and fire to attempt to carry out his threat," Superintendent Raymond Aggrey Fynn added.
He added that the incident could have been avoided had members of the public been vigilant enough to at least notify the police when the man walked by them with the cylinder and lighter to commit his act.
The suspect and his family have been taken to the CID Unit at the Police Headquarters, pending further investigations.
