TEL AVIV, Israel, June 10 (UPI) -- An Israeli man has been indicted on arson charges for allegedly torching another man's motorbike because he wouldn't hand over his pet squirrel.
Anton Surami, 25, of Ramat Gan was indicted in Tel Aviv District Court Sunday, Ynetnews reported.
The victim, whose name was not released, said he was carrying his pet squirrel in his fanny pack when Surami grabbed it and tried to take it with him. The man stopped Surami and took his pet back.
Later the same day, the victim allegedly received a phone call from Surami in which he threatened to burn down his house if he didn't turn over the squirrel.
Afraid of losing his home, the man complied and met Surami, who then allegedly shoved and slapped the complainant and came at him with a kitchen knife.
The man managed to escape, but two hours later, Surami allegedly torched his bike.
