This is the shocking moment a California woman douses a man with gasoline as he sits in a park, and sets him on fire.

Patricia Castillo, 48, is accused of setting the man on fire on Thrusday night in Sanger, near Fresno, about 9pm.

She was arrested together with her 43-year-old accomplice, Leonard Hawkins, who is accused of providing her with the gasoline.

Officers from the Sanger Police Department were called to the park and found the man with severe burns to the upper half of his body.

In surveillance video of the attack, Castillo can we seen walking up to the man as he sits on the grass, and then throwing a cup-ful of gasoline over him.
The pair are then seen arguing, at which point Castillo is seen taking a lighter out of her pocket.

The man is seen backing away from her, but moments later Castillo places her lighter close to his shirt and he is instantly engulfed in flames.

It's unclear whether Castillo knew the man.
'Investigators used video surveillance and witness statements to identify Patricia Castillo and Leonard Hawkins as the suspects,' the Sanger Police Department said in a statement released on social media.

'The video shows Castillo approaching the victim and throwing a liquid from a cup onto him, and she and the victim appear to argue before Castillo sparks a lighter and lights the victim on fire.

'Further investigation revealed that Leonard Hawkins had provided the accelerant used to light the victim on fire to Castillo.'

The man was immediately taken to hospital and is expected to recover from his injuries.

Both Castillo and Hawkins were taken into custody without incident and face multiple felony charges including attempted murder, arson and conspiracy.
