A video compilation of a man setting fire to a person on a public street using a flamethrower has sparked shock online.
The incident occurred on Feb 2 in Yangzhou, China, reported Hong Kong news portal HK01.
Footage posted on social media platform X shows the man continuously shooting a stream of fire with a makeshift flamethrower at what appears to be a person keeled over at a row of roadside shrubs.
Another clip shows the person lying face down on the shrubs as small flames licked along their upper body.
In a third video, a crowd of onlookers as well as enforcement officers are seen looking at the charred body. The camera pans to show the perpetrator sitting on the pavement and smoking.
He does not resist when an officer chucks the cigarette away and handcuffs him, according to a clip taken from a different angle.
According to Hong Kong and Taiwan media, the victim had been having an affair with the man's wife.
After the man was allegedly assaulted when he confronted them several months ago, he built a homemade flamethrower and carried out the attack in public.
One witness claimed that the attacker purportedly appeared calm while waiting for the police, and said he had "planned to die together" with the victim.
China authorities have not officially confirmed the incident, and no posts have been made about the incident on Chinese social media apps.

CORRECT! I know that bit of cultural trivia.
Also, every man has his breaking limit. This was obviously past this guy’s.
I think he torched the wrong person. The “wife” who took vows should have been smoking on the ground, if anyone.
aw crap, now we’re gonna have to outlaw fire
“A Man in China
Quite selfish with desire,
Stole another man’s Wife
And then perished in fire!”
Nice.
Agreed. My first wife always said if some other woman took a fancy to me and I followed up, that she'd shoot me, not the other woman.
Both of them, if consensual. Most men can become homicidal if you mess with their wife.
I hope he at least lit that cigarette off the burning victim. If you’re going to be extremely heinous with no future in sight have some style about it.
Agreed!
Say: When it was all over, the two men were both smoking!
And, I know that this was in China, but: Are flamethrowers covered by the 2nd Amendment?
Regards,
Seems strange the vic was just crouched down there not reacting as he’s being set on fire.
Anyway.....you mess around with somebody’s spouse, you’re asking for it.
