A professional martial artist has been left with horrific facial injuries after setting his face on fire while performing a stunt.
Owais Ahmad Dar was filming himself practising a fire breathing trick in South Kashmir, India.
It involved him holding a mouth full of kerosene, before breathing onto a flaming stick and propelling the flames into the air above him.
But in a horrifying video some of the fuel remains on his face, causing the flames to engulf him.
His friends desperately tried to put the fire out, but the damage had already been done.
Owais was rushed to hospital in Srinagar where he is being treated for severe burns.
It is not yet clear how severe Owais' scars will be.
His injuries come weeks after the Mirror reported a 14st hyena attacked an elderly man.
Forest officials later found the enormous beast's dead body 28 miles away.
In the clip, the OAP can be seen walking his tiny dog along a road in a village near India's western city of Pune, when a vicious hyena pokes out of the grass to his left.
The predator approaches and pounces on the terrified old man, before moving on to a motorcyclist riding past. Someone immediately comes to his aid but the creature warns him away by bearing his teeth.
The man narrowly escaped with his life after the attack in Kharpudi village, in India's western city of Pune, according to reports.
Forest department officials said hyena's rarely attack humans and this one had been irritated by an earlier injury, which caused its aggression, the Sun reports.
Deputy conservator of forest's Mr Jayaramegowda, said: “One elderly person and a biker have been injured in the attack by a hyena in Kharpudi village.
"Attacks by hyenas are not very common. We have come to know that the hyena was already injured when it attacked the two persons.
"The animal was found dead later. We believe that the irritation caused by the injury may have triggered the attack.
“We have initiated the process to provide compensation to the two injured persons.”
Hyena's rarely attack or kill humans and feature low among predator fatalities.
