Arsonist catches himself on fire while trying to destroy a business in Richmond, Canada

To make matters worse for the criminal, his mask could be seen flying off while he was trying to put the flames out, exposing his face to the cameras.

Authorities say they have not yet found the man and are calling on the public to help identify him.

"Based on the nature of the fire there’s a high probability that this suspect sustained injuries to his lower body," said Corporal Adriana O’Malley.
