Eyewitness Tony Delacruz, who works in a nearby student store, was returning from his break a little after 4pm when he heard yelling and commotion on the campus grounds.
He rushed outside and saw the man “completely engulfed in flames”.
He told local news outlet Berkeleyside that the man seemed “indifferent” to the fire but appeared angry and was shouting in the direction of the bystanders around him.
Delacruz ran back into the store to retrieve a fire extinguisher, but by the time he came out, Enrique Rojas, manager at a nearby sandwich store, was already battling the flames with an extinguisher.
