Police say the video reveals that the left arm of one of the suspects is on fire leaving investigators to believe he would have burned his clothing and sustained burns to his left arm.

The suspect may also have singed the hair on the side of his head and face and burned his face and hands, police said.

The suspects are described by police as males, in their 20s, with slim builds. Both were wearing hoodies and dark pants.
