On Sunday night a man drove to a pub and doused himself before lighting fire that had started to consume the man.

This fellow whose identity has not yet been revealed, is said to have drove his car to a pub in Chislehurst, South East London, and light himself before three drinkers stepped out to extinguish the fire, therefore saving his life.

Moments later police and ambulance arrived at the scene.

It is not clear if the man had deliberately tried to harm himself, but according to reports there were two cans full of petrol in his car.

If one man could not have put out the fire it would have caught the car, in seconds, and disaster could have unfolded in queens city.

The man was rushed to the hospital and there are no details about his condition so far.
