Man Flies Out of Window After Gas Blast in Hungarian Apartment
A man from Dombóvár, whose apartment caught fire on Sunday morning, was on bad terms with his neighbours, which is why he may have deliberately caused a gas cylinder to explode, Magyar Nemzet reports.

The man flew out of the window as a result of the explosion, suffering serious injuries, according to Blikk.

An ambulance helicopter took him to hospital in Pécs.

The apartment where the explosion happened is in a building of more than 40 units, so it was fortunate that no one else was injured, Blikk observes.

Dombóvár police are investigating a possible crime of intentionally causing public danger.
