A TEENAGER has been charged by West Australian police after throwing a lit sparkler into a tent as a prank, causing the canvas to catch on fire and burning the man sleeping inside.
The ill-conceived joke happened in the early hours of Saturday morning at the Myalup Beach Caravan park near Mandurah.
A man awoke around 1.20am to find his tent on fire, and as he attempted to put out the flames suffered burns to his hands.
A 16-year-old staying in another tent at the park, who was known to the injured man, was tracked down by police and charged with causing an act likely to cause bodily harm.
