The father of the man seen on fire outside a Vancouver SkyTrain station this weekend said the incident was not an accident.
“A woman walked up and sprayed a fluid in his face,” Miles Cameron told Global News.
“He thought it was water or a joke, somebody joking around, until she lit him on fire.”
Cameron identified the victim as his 29-year-old son, Dane, who he said is now in the fight of his life.
He said his son is a musician who is kind and generous with his time and the injuries to his son’s face and neck are significant.
“That is what makes this soul-crushing, that this horrific crime was committed to him,” Cameron said.
“And just the fact like just thinking that there’s monsters like that walking amongst us … it’s unfathomable.”
