A suspect was arrested moments after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a man in a wheelchair near police headquarters in Oklahoma City, authorities said.
Surveillance footage from outside the headquarters showed the man in the wheelchair crossing a street diagonally at around 8 a.m. on July 2. Moments later, another man could be seen crossing the street before turning around and approaching the victim.
The unidentified suspect appeared to light something before hurling the incendiary device at the man in the wheelchair.
After the object was thrown, the victim was momentarily surrounded by flames before the suspect pushed the wheelchair.
A passing vehicle could be seen stopping, and two people got out. A nearby Oklahoma City police detective and a bystander pulled the victim from the fire while another police officer detained the suspect.
