He’s immediately hit by a fireball and stumbles away with one of his trouser legs and a glove on fire.
As he falls to the tarmac, his mask falls off.
He thrashes around in terror as his accomplice rushes back to the scene to help him.
However, neither man is able to quell the fire and the man’s pants continue burning.
The two men eventually left the scene in Richmond, near Vancouver, Canada, on foot.
The police released the footage in a bid to catch them.
They said the men had started the fire in front of the building after smashing a window, as reported on Need To Know.
Corporal Adriana O’Malley said about one of the pair: “Based on the nature of the fire there’s a high probability that this suspect sustained injuries to his lower body.”
The police believe he is 40 to 50 years old and his accomplice is in his late 20s to late 30s.
They have asked members of the public with any information about the men to get in touch.
Scott commented on social media: “Allegedly Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels.”
And Bowen joked: “The crispy one should be easy to find.”
It happened on 24 April, but cops have only just put the video out.
