"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.'

He admitted he had been inhaling vapours from a chemical cleaner in an attempt to get 'high'.

Wood had been resisting arrest by attempting to bite the officers and lashing out with his feet.

In an attempt to subdue him police fired their Tasers which emit a charge of up to 50,000 volts.

Lancaster Police chief David Bailey said: 'Clearly, this is not the way we'd hoped to get started.

'But I'm glad the suspect is OK, and this gives us an opportunity to review how we will do things from this point.'

Chief Bailey said his officers acted appropriately given Wood's aggressive behaviour.

He said: 'There was no recognition on the part of these officers that this would be the result.

'They didn't know the vapour was present and would flash. It wasn't as if the suspect was doused in a chemical.'

Wood, who has been arrested more than 50 times, has been charged with resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and abusing harmful intoxicants.

they couldn't have shot him unfortunately cause technically you have to reasonably believe that the person is going to kill/cause serious bodily injury to you or another person in order to use deadly force against him.

if it were me, i probably would have hit him with an asp lol



but in reality, its better to be safe and use a taser than to not go home that night cause you didnt use adequate force to detain the suspect.

Pardon me while I burst into flames,
I've had enough of the world,
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn,
and rise above the flame.
