Detailed Factual Report
Police released a 911 call reporting a video that appears to show two panicked men engulfed in flames in an alleged hazing incident at an Ohio State University fraternity over the weekend.
"They set their pledges on fire, and there's a video of it. And I just want to send it in so that something gets done about it," the caller told Columbus police dispatch on Sunday, a day after police said the incident took place. "They put gasoline on him and lit him on fire, and then just kind of stood there and laughed."
The caller said they received the video in a sorority group chat, but they weren't there in person, according to the 911 call.
