DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - Dayton fire crews are investigating a bizarre incident in Dayton Wednesday afternoon after a man ran into a convenience store while on fire.

It happened at the Danner Market on Danner Avenue around 4:30 pm.

"I saw his body and it was smelling real bad and I'm searching for some applesauce and I see him and I'm like, dang," said Tyrezz Sawyer, witness.

Investigators don't know who the victim is or how he caught on fire.

Witnesses in the store at the time, saw him run in on fire and knew they had to help.  "I picked up some snow and just patted him out."
