California man sprays WD-40 on tea shop customers and sets them alight with blowtorch

A California man armed with an ax and 'rambling about his daughter' sprayed WD-40 on tea shop customers and set them alight with a blowtorch before vigilantes wrestled him to the ground.

Brandon McGlone, 46, of Berkeley, walked into the Feng Cha Teahouse Monday night and tried to set several people on fire, police said.

This came moments after he allegedly attacked diners outside a nearby pizzeria, knocking their food off the table, spraying them with WD-40 and telling them he was going to light them on fire.

Shocking footage captured the surprise attack at the tea shop as well as the ensuing struggle outside as customers tried to detain the suspect until cops arrived, before backing off when he pulled out an ax.

Witnesses also said McGlone was yelling something about his daughter during the attack.

Police said officers then arrived on the scene and talked McGlone into dropping the weapon.

McGlone was arrested outside the tea shop and is now facing felony charges over the attacks.
