Footage shows a man removing his burning pants after a failed arson in Melbourne
Melbourne: So, there was this wild incident on Christmas Day. Police in Australia just dropped some crazy footage of a guy who accidentally set himself on fire while trying to torch a fast food place.
Apparently, he and a buddy thought it would be a good idea to light up a fast food joint in Doncaster East. They rolled up in a white Toyota Tarago with some flammable liquid.
At around 2:40 AM, things went south fast. They poured the liquid on the front of the restaurant and tried to ignite it. But guess what? The fire caught onto one of their clothes instead!
In the video, you can see this dude freaking out, stripping off his burning pants while running back to the car. It’s like something out of a comedy movie, but it’s real life!
Another camera caught him struggling to get rid of his flaming pants, and it looked like he was stuck for a moment. Talk about a rough night!
We still don’t know why they were trying to set the place on fire or how the guy who caught fire is doing now. The getaway car was last seen speeding off, and the police are asking for help to track these guys down.
