A Victorian man is fighting for life after setting himself on fire and screaming about vaccine mandates, leaving a woman who assisted with skin stuck to her shirt.
One woman who helped restrain the man, and asked not to be named, told the Herald Sun the mans skin was burning until he was covered with water.
His skin was burning, he was on fire, she said.
His skin is stuck to (my) shirt. He was off his face screaming about the mandates.
Both police and paramedics were called to the grisly scene to treat and apprehend the man.
He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Another witness who was dining nearby said the man poured gas on himself and on his car saying the act was on purpose. The witness said the man had been screaming no vax ID.
Officers have cordoned off the street with police tape.
