Fire in the bowl!
Bizarre video shows the moment a pottybrained firebug runs off with his clothes on fire after he clumsily torched a portable toilet outside a Long Island home over the weekend.
The minute-long video, released by Nassau County Police Wednesday, shows flames erupting from the portable toilet set up on the front lawn of a home on Sprucewood Drive in Levittown around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
The goofy arsonist steps out of the burning outdoor bathroom and apparently realizes that his own clothes ignited.
But the apparent pyromaniac fails to extinguish the flames and runs off with the bottom of his pants, or his shoes, still blazing.
He bolted from the victim’s driveway and then fled east on Sprucewood Drive, authorities said.
The Wantagh Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire, with no injuries reported.
The portable toilet was badly burned and the home was left with only minor damage, police said.
Authorities are still looking to track down the arsonist.
Anyone with leads is asked to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2440-TIPS or call 911. All callers will remain anonymous.
