This is the dramatic moment a BMW 'exploded' as it was engulfed in flames following a 'suspected arson attack'. Witnesses reported seeing a man pouring what's thought to have been petrol on the car moments before the blaze.
Video from the scene shows the vehicle on fire as its parked on the street in Belle Vue, east Manchester on Monday night. Two loud explosions can be heard moments before firefighters arrive on the scene on Collington Close.
One witness said: "I was sleeping when I heard all the people outside shouting that a car was on fire. I didn't see it but some people said they saw a guy pouring petrol on the car before running off. There was a fuel bottle next to the car.
