NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro police were called to Legislative Plaza late Thursday night after a man allegedly set a fire at the Occupy Nashville camp.

Authorities said demonstrators saw a man set fire to an unoccupied sleeping bag.

They chased the man, stopped him and held him until police arrived.

It was not immediately known if the man was connected to the Occupy Nashville camp or the movement.

His name wasn't immediately released.
