Pub-goers save man’s life after he set himself alight

PUB-GOERS who tore the burning clothes off a man who doused himself in petrol and set himself alight have been praised for saving his life.

The 39-year-old man went into a pub in a Co Cork town on Thursday night and set himself on fire in the toilets.

A number of patrons of the Fiddler’s Green pub at Sand’s Quay, Clonakilty, rushed to his aid.
