Wild new video shows the moment the suspected Colorado terrorist accidentally set himself on fire at the start of his heinous firebombing rampage.
The footage, shot by an eyewitness, captured the suspect wearing a bright orange vest with something strapped to the back as he started hurling Molotov cocktails at a peaceful pro-Israel march in Boulder on Sunday.
As he raises his arm to launch a second gasoline bomb, his vest could be seen going up in flames, the stunning clips shows.
“I was right here … front row and center to this horrific event,” Alex Osante, who shot the sickening video, told Fox News of the moment he spotted the suspect emerging from the bushes.
“He threw a Molotov cocktail at a woman, but when he threw the Molotov cocktail, he lit himself on fire,” Osante said.

“After he lit himself on fire, he came back, he took off his vest, which looked like a bulletproof vest, and the shirt.”
A shirtless Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested in the wake of the nightmarish firebombing that left a dozen people injured.
Soliman, an Egyptian national who was in US illegally on an expired visa, is accused of screaming “Free Palestine” as he unleashed his reign of terror.
“The terrorist … threw a Molotov cocktail and lit five people on fire,” Osante recalled of the saga.
“One of the persons was lit head to toe, and the other four people were severely burned. It was really sad. Very sad.”
The witness said he rushed to help the injured victims but wasn’t entirely sure what had unfolded until he watched back the footage – adding that the attack was “the most crazy, horrific incident I’ve ever seen.”
At least 16 gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails were found near where the shirtless suspect was detained, authorities said.
A weed sprayer filled with gasoline was also found at the scene.
Soliman, who told investigators that he wanted to “kill all Zionist people,” had been planning his attack for a year, prosecutors alleged.
He said he used Molotov cocktails rather than a gun because his illegal status in the US blocked him from buying firearms, according to the feds.
Soliman has since been charged with federal hate crimes and 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder.
He faces up to 624 years behind bars if convicted.
