‘Pervert’ Set Light To Woman’s Skirt

A man filmed setting fire to a woman’s skirt has been branded a sick pervert after video footage of his bizarre behaviour emerged.

The footage – filmed in Guangdong, south-east China – shows a man in a camouflage jacket sitting on a chair outside a shop.

As a woman stands beside him making a call on her phone he pulls out a cigarette lighter and sets the hem of her denim mini-skirt ablaze.

At first she does not seem to notice it but once the fire take hold she can be seen frantically flapping with her hands trying to snuff out the flames.

She quickly runs back into the store to get help and as the footage ends a police officer can be seen heading towards the fire starter.

The sick stunt – later shared on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok – sparked fury in social media users.

Douyin user ‘when did you meet’ said in a comment: “How bad do you think this person is to do such a wicked thing?”

Another user titled ‘Beauty is safe,’ wrote: “This man, that pervert, should be sentenced to five years in prison.”

And user ‘Pengcheng Miles’ said: “This guy deserves a beating.”
