A shocking video shows a man deliberately setting a Porsche on fire while a woman sat inside the vehicle in southern China.

The video was caught on CCTV cameras at a petrol station in Shenzhen on Thursday just after 3pm (local time), the Daily Mail reported.

The video starts by showing a man rushing towards the Porsche and grabbing the fuel nozzle that was in the vehicle. 

He then sprays petrol all over the vehicle, which engulfs the Porsche in flames. 

Another man who was standing next to the vehicle waiting for the car to fill up with petrol, sprints to the rescue of the woman sitting in the passenger seat.

The pair run away from the vehicle to safety before the petrol station workers rush to put the flames out with fire extinguishers. The man who started the fire was detained by police and the incident is being investigated.
