    The 21-year-old 'maniac' who doused himself in accelerant and set fire to a Commonwealth Bank branch is reportedly a refugee from Myanmar in Australia on a bridging visa.
    On Friday morning, the man became agitated after not having enough funds to withdraw money from the ATM at the Springvale branch in Melbourne's southeast and allegedly walked to the nearby Caltex service station to fill a plastic container with petrol.
    A witness told Daily Mail Australia he was 'loud and angry' when he returned minutes later to set fire to the ATM and the carpet inside the branch.
