Police are looking for a man who tried to start a fire at a New York City gas station.

According to CBS, about 2 a.m. Monday in Staten Island, the man filling a gas can, then sprayed fuel around the pump, setting a piece of paper aflame and using it to ignite the spilled fuel into a blaze that flared up around the gas pumps.

Police say the gas station's fire extinguisher system put out the flames, but a 21-year-old man suffered internal injuries.
