WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- West Palm Beach police say officers were driving down Dixie Highway overnight when they came across a partially naked, emotionally upset man, covered in a toxic chemical.
West Palm Beach Fire Rescue officials say the man was covered in a gasoline-like substance, upset about his house being on fire.
Down the road on Miller Avenue, officers found his house in flames.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital, too mentally unstable to be interviewed, according to authorities.
West Palm Beach police are conducting an arson investigation.
