Taser, Taser, Burning Bright!

We owe a debt to knirirr for kindly giving us a heads up to this French language news article.  (English translation here.) A suspect tried to escape from French custom officials, only to have chemical mace applied along with a Taser.  A freak combination of tear gas and the Taser caused the man’s clothing to burst into flame! The burning man was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but managed to finally give the cops the slip.  He is still at large. I’ve never heard of something like this happening, but I suppose anything is possible.  I wonder what made up the ingredients of that French tear gas?
