A three-wheeler burst into flames after two children lit the petrol that leaked onto the ground in southern China.

The CCTV video, filmed in the city of Liuzhou in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on December 2, shows a boy in a black shirt dipping something into the leaked petrol, lighting it and throwing it on the ground.

Then another boy in a white shirt picked it up and threw it to the leaked petrol around the three-wheeler, causing the vehicle to burst into flames.

The two boys ran away and nearby residents put out the fire. Two other scooters were also burnt down with the three-wheeler.

The three-wheeler owner has reported the incident to the police.

2日中午11点16分，在广西柳州河南新村中区的围墙外，停放着一辆三轮车和两辆摩托车，地面上疑似有漏油的痕迹，一名身穿黑色衣服的年轻男孩用手中的物品沾了沾地上的油，接着点燃并扔在了地上。随后身穿白色衣服的年轻男子，把点燃的物品丢到旁边疑似有油迹的地方，明火瞬间烧了起来，车辆被大火吞噬。看到这一幕，两男孩立即往巷子里跑。事发后，有附近居民和身穿制服的保安赶来将火扑灭，不少居民表示，这两名小孩他们并不认识。
目前车主已报警处理。
