Man Catches Fire in Recovery Truck Arson, Rochdale, England, February 5, 2014
A man caught fire while setting a parked recovery truck alight in Falinge, Rochdale, England, at about 5 a.m. on February 5, 2014. Police said he poured petrol onto the truck's grille, igniting his own coat, then ran off with his left arm burning. He escaped in the passenger seat of a light-colored Nissan Micra driven by another man. CCTV shows a figure standing at the front of the truck before a flare engulfs the area. The fire spread to a nearby house, damaging its front door and windows. Nobody inside was hurt, and firefighters extinguished the blaze. Greater Manchester Police said the suspect was likely to have burns to his left hand and arm and appealed for information about anyone treated for those injuries. They also appealed for the Micra's driver to come forward. |
