A CRAZED MAN IN PERTH, AUSTRALIA, WAS BURNED Sunday while his clothes were splashed with gasoline and a police officer struck him with a Taser gun. The electric charge ignited the fumes and set his clothes on fire, giving him severe burns over 20% of his body.
The police were called to a house because of a “disturbance” and found the man wandering around inside carrying a gas can and sloshing the fuel around the house. When he said that he was going into the kitchen to get some matches, officers broke in the back door to try an apprehend the man. He in turn started pitching gasoline at the police, dousing one of them. At that point, an officer fired his Taser and ignited the man.
He is in stable condition with burns on his arms and upper body.
