The incident occurred at around 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning when a man set himself alight as he poured a flammable liquid onto a van in Falinge, UK.

He was captured on CCTV desperately trying to put out the fire on his arm as he ran off.

The arsonist was then seen getting into a waiting car parked nearby, and was driven off by another man.

The resulting fire from the vehicle spread to a nearby family home, causing damage to the front door and windows of the property.

The occupants – who had no connection to the vehicle – were not harmed.
