Qld prankster sets man's back hair on fire

A drunk reveller has had the hair on his back set on fire after falling asleep at a party in outback Queensland.

The man was at a weekend party in the country town of Roma when he nodded off after a few drinks. That's when "somebody thought it would be funny to burn the hairs off his back. He was asleep when it happened," police said.

The victim, 27, suffered first and second degree burns. Officers are yet to determine who was responsible.
