An “illegal immigrant” set himself on fire as he sprayed a makeshift flamethrower at pro-Israel protesters during an alleged terror attack.

A mugshot released of Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, appeared to show burns to his face while his ear was heavily bandaged after the attack that injured eight people.

As details of his plot emerged on Monday, the Egyptian national is said to have turned a garden weed sprayer into a makeshift flamethrower by spraying gasoline in the direction of the marchers while holding a lighter in front of the stream of fuel.

Investigators believe he had stopped at gas stations before the attack to fill up molotov cocktails and the makeshift flamethrower.

Police found 14 more molotovs in the Pearl Street area, where he was detained. Officials believe he may have spent a year planning the attack.
