Gasoline-Huffing Man Bursts Into Flame After Being Tased
By Dan Nosowitz, on Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:40:00 -0
An Australian man burst into flames after a policeman hit him on the bridge of the nose with his Taser. Sound ridiculous? Not so much if you know the man was arrested on suspicion of huffing gasoline.
The man pretty immediately went up in flames, and the officer, recognizing that a man becomes significantly less dangerous once he's on fire , went to the suspect's aid, patting him all over (and getting burned himself) to quell the flames. While the officer tried to help the flammable man, he was hit by rocks thrown by a young woman also on the scene, also presumably high or stupid or both. Both the man and woman, as well as two others, were charged with sniffing a prohibited substance, and the young woman was charged with throwing rocks at a policeman. [ Daily Telegraph ]
