A homeless man caught fire after U.S. police shocked him with a Taser gun, it has been revealed.

Daniel Wood, 31, was allegedly sniffing gas from an aerosol can as he ran through traffic when he was chased by two officers in Lancaster, Ohio.

One officer caught Wood and got him on the ground, where Wood continued to resist, according to the police report. Another officer shouted a warning, then zapped Wood with the Taser, the report said.

Wood immediately burst into flames that covered his torso.
The officers were forced to drop their weapons and beat out the flames.

Wood said: ‘My complete right half of my upper body is burned.
‘I have bandages from my wrist all the way up my arm and across my chest.’ Read full article…
