A 26-year-old man used what looked like a "flamethrower" to set off the sprinkler system at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel, according to police.
The suspect and hotel maintenance staff confronted each other in a hotel stairwell, sparking the mysterious incident. Using the flamethrower, he allegedly set off the sprinkler system when one of the workers approached.
Authorities said that he lit a liquid substance that was not identified and directed it towards the workers using a three-foot hose. The gadget was in his backpack that he had carried.
