Philadelphia Man Caught On Fire After Getting Tasered

Philadelphia Man Caught On Fire After Getting Tasered

A man caught on fire after being tasered outside a restaurant in Philadelphia. The man refused to leave Jim’s Steaks and was confronted by two security guards, who used a stun gun to subdue him, after which the man’s leg caught fire.

Interestingly, even though such incidents are rare, at least 15 people have experienced the same effect after being tasered in the past, five of whom later died from severe burn injuries.
