A man set himself on fire on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley on Wednesday afternoon, according to campus police.

The University of California Police Department (UCPD) said they received a call at roughly 4:17 p.m. about a person who was on fire.

The reported self-immolation took place on Sproul Plaza, the center of the campus.

"Berkeley Mental Health was on scene and several good samaritans tried to render aid and put out the fire. At least one of these good samaritans sustained unknown injuries and was transported to a local hospital," the statement from UCPD said.

Light a fire, and a man will be warm for the night. Set yourself on fire, and you will be warm for the rest of your life.

” how anyone could just stand there and film the event is unfathomable.”
