A man set himself on fire at the university California Berkeley campus on Wednesday, shouting “Mormon Mafia,” horrified bystanders who tried to help.

The burning man, who has not been identified, was engulfed in flames as he ran down busy Telegraph Avenue as people shouted: “Get on the ground”. He was eventually rescued by a local business owner who ran out of his store with a fire extinguisher.

According to an eyewitness, Enrique Rojas, the manager of Sandwich a Go-Go, was helped by two people who were trying to help the man who was yelling, “Run.”

According to an eyewitness, two people were able to fully extinguish the flames in front of Eshleman Hall as the man yelled “get away.”

Berkeley Fire, Police and Berkeley Mental Health Services responded to the scene. Later, the man was hospitalized with second- and third-degree burns on most of his body. Two bystanders who tried to put out the fire were also injured.
