Horrifying moment 82-year-old Oklahoma man covers himself in gasoline and sets himself on FIRE as cops raid home due to eviction notice

This is the horrifying moment an 82-year-old man set himself on fire as police raided his home.

Bodycam footage shows the moment Oklahoma City police entered Anthony Goulding's home to serve an eviction notice on Monday.

As two female officers entered the home, Goulding ran to a room, grabbed a gasoline container and poured the liquid on himself.

'Are you ready,' Goulding said before lighting himself on fire. 

'No! Stop!' an officer yelled

One of the officers who showed up at the home had been working with Goulding and his wife Mary for weeks to find them somewhere to stay, as reported by KFOR.

'Are you ready,' Goulding said before lighting himself on fire

'They were going to an extended stay facility and an Uber was waiting out front to take them to that location as our deputies were tending to the elderly woman who has Parkinson’s disease,' Sheriff Tommie Johnson III told the local outlet. 

Goulding appeared to throw the canister at the officer, who managed to back away as the room was engulfed in flames.

The officers then rushed to get Mary out of the home.

One says: 'Come on. We gotta go. We gotta get you out.'

Sheriff Johnson III added: 'Quickly, the home was overtaken by fire and smoke and that prevented her from making another entry.

'I think that’s the biggest piece of this. For me to see our deputies, like even in the midst of all of this going on, still trying to save a life, still trying to get there, still trying to prevent it from happening in the fire.

'I really want to praise the courage of our deputies for what they attempted to do and what they did do was they saved a life.'

Mary, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, was moved to the extended living facility.

The officers tried to save Goulding but he died from the fire, as did the family dog.

One of the officers suffered minor injuries but has since been medically cleared.
