A Renton man received serious burns Wednesday morning after a woman poured gasoline on him and lit him ablaze.

According to police, a 52-year-old Renton man walked into a store at about 8 a.m. Wednesday and asked the store clerk to call for medical aid. Responding deputies and paramedics learned that a woman had poured gasoline on the man and had then lit him on fire. The victim had suffered serious but not life threatening burns, and was transported to Harborview Medical Center.
