Mr Mitchell is in a critical condition in hospital with third degree burns.

Western Australia Police say they went to the community of Warburton, about 1,500 km (950 miles) north-east of Perth, in response to a complaint.

They say they used the Taser on Mr Mitchell when he came out of the house and ran at them.

He burst into flames. One officer pushed him to the ground and smothered the fire with his bare hands, police said.

Just like in the Green Mile.... :hairraise

He was carrying a container of petrol and a cigarette lighter, it's not that big of a surprise that he caught fire...

Anyway, I love that the officer smothered the fire with his BARE HANDS. That's pretty awesome.

Whatever the cause was, I feel bad for the cops who had to be on the scene and experience that.
