A suspect wanted for a violent gas station robbery Friday in Uniondale was arrested hours later for committing arson inside a warming center, according to police.

Detectives say Christian Hall attempted to leave the Sunoco on Hempstead Turnpike without paying for two items around 2 a.m. and then assaulted an employee who tried to stop him.

At 8:15 a.m., he was arrested at the Mitchel Field Athletic Complex for allegedly starting a fire inside the bathroom.

He is scheduled to be arraigned for numerous charges on Sunday.
