A man threw flaming beer bottles at Tesla chargers in a parking lot in North Charleston, South Carolina, and then set himself on fire. The incident occurred on March 7, according to WCSC reports.
Eyewitnesses said the man ignited the chargers using Molotov cocktails before throwing beer bottles at them, with one of the bottles igniting his back for just one minute. No bystanders were injured in the fires, and firefighters responded quickly to cut off power to the chargers while investigators collected evidence.
The man also spray-painted anti-Ukraine and anti-Donald Trump graffiti on the pavement. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made yet.
