A son of former Chicago Bear running back Gale Sayers was charged with attempted arson after there was a small fire at the Chicago South Side school he attends, police said.

Timothy Sayers, 17, was seen running from Kenwood Academy with his clothes on fire Tuesday afternoon, and school staff later found evidence that someone had attempted to start a fire in a science room, authorities said. Sayers was in fair condition after suffering first- and second-degree burns.
