The service station owner, Evan Hansimikali said the business will be forced to close while the bowser is repaired.“It was amazing the guy didn’t set fire to himself.” A NSW Police spokeswoman said firefighters raced to the scene but the flames had already been extinguished. She said the man was arrested and taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Camperdown for a mental health assessment and treatment of minor injuries.
