A horrifying moment was caught on tape when a woman pours gasoline over a man and sets him on fire after an argument in a California park.
Patricia Castillo, 48, of Sanger, California, has been charged with attempted murder after setting a man on fire.
She was arrested together with her 43-year-old accomplice, Leonard Hawkins, who is accused of providing her with gasoline.
Sanger Police Department officers found the man with severe burns to the upper half of his body in a park near Fresno around 9:15 p.m on Thursday, July 7. He informed the officers that a woman had lit him on fire.
Here’s what the Sanger Police Department wrote on Facebook:
“Due to the severity of the victim’s burns, EMS immediately transported him to an area hospital.”
According to the Police, surveillance footage captured the incident and helped them to identify the suspects. Although it is unclear if the victim and the attacker, or her accomplice, knew each other prior to the incident.
“The video shows Castillo approaching the victim and throwing a liquid from a cup onto him, and she and the victim appear to argue before Castillo sparks a lighter and lights the victim on fire. Further investigation revealed that Leonard Hawkins had provided the accelerant used to light the victim on fire to Castillo.
The victim was transported to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Castillo and Hawkins were arrested and booked into the Fresno County Jail for attempted murder and conspiracy.
Sanger is located 13 miles east-southeast of Fresno.
