A man was arrested on suspicion of lighting another man on fire early Sunday morning at a Circle K in Glendale.

Luciano Simmons was arrested after police say he filled a water bottle with $1 of gasoline and lit Blake Angerer on fire outside of a Circle K near 58th and Olive Avenue.

Court documents obtained by The Arizona Republic state that the Glendale Police Department received a call around 4:30 a.m. about someone on fire at the store. In a 911 call audio released by police, the owner of the store is heard calling for help after a man was set on fire.

Witnesses told police that Simmons was at the bus stop near the Circle K when he came over and purchased gasoline. Another witness told police they saw Simmons pour the gasoline on Angerer and set him on fire with a blue butane torch, documents state.

Surveillance video released by police shows Angerer and another man running in the direction of the store, away from the bus stop. Other footage shows a person running into the store and grabbing gallons of water before Angerer makes his way into the store, half his body covered in flames.

In the 911 call, the owner told the dispatcher that they poured water on Angerer and helped put out the flames.
