A man, believed to be a fire bomber, burst into flames in a shop in Belfast city centre on Monday night.

He ran off with his clothes on fire through shoppers in the Cornmarket area.

"He appeared to move something underneath his jacket and seconds later a large flame ignited inside his coat and engulfed his head and shoulders as he attempted to put the flames out with his hands," he said.

"He ran out of the shop in the direction of Ann Street, having dropped the device that he had in his pocket."

Ch Supt McCrum described the suspect as about 6ft, plump, wearing a dark, black waterproof coat and a beany hat.

Sounds like a fireproof coat may have been more useful...
