Man Tries To Set Fire To Bar Goers After Boozy Row But Ends Up Getting Set Alight Himself

This is the moment a man tries to set fire to bar goers after a drunken row and is punched to the ground and set ablaze himself.

The incident was filmed outside a bar in the Russian capital Moscow on Wednesday, 22nd December, after the 49-year-old suspect had been thrown out for aggressive behaviour.

Following the bar row, the suspect, name not reported, went home and returned a short while later with a container filled with a flammable liquid.

He tried to pour the fuel on at least one man outside the bar before it was ignited, setting fire to the bar entrance.

In the footage, the suspect is seen arriving outside the bar and trying to pour fuel on a man, but apparently wets a woman smoking a cigarette as well, judging by her reaction.

He returns to trying to pour fuel on the heavyset man, who responds by punching him in the head before pummelling him on the ground.

Another man apparently kicks the suspect over and uses a lighter to ignite the fuel on the ground, sparking a fireball and setting alight the suspect’s clothes.

The clip ends with the fallen man standing up with his trousers on fire in the seat region.

No one was injured in the attack, however the police were called to the scene and arrested the suspect while he was trying to leave.
