![Ohio Fraternity Suspended After Terrifying Video Shows Two Young Men On Fire As Others Laugh [Video]](https://gists9ja.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/368107-1024x987.jpg)
An Ohio State University fraternity has been temporarily suspended after a video showed two young men engulfed in flames while people stood around them, laughing.
The video shows a large group of people clad in the school’s red and white colors laughing as a man in a gray sweatsuit sits on the ground with his trousers on fire.
The panicked man then ran and dove into another man in an identical outfit, causing his clothes to catch fire.
Both men thrash about, falling to the ground and stripping off their clothes as the flames crept up their bodies.
Other men then rushed to quench the fire.
At least one person was seen holding a fire extinguisher.
Ohio State University has since placed the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on interim suspension following the video.
“The university is aware of this extremely concerning incident, and the individuals in question are receiving medical care,” university spokesperson Benjamin Johnson said in a statement.
“Ohio State is committed to a safe and healthy environment and expects students and student organizations to uphold that commitment and the university’s values.”
Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert said the fiery scene appeared to unfold at an event on Saturday, November 7, but police did not receive any calls for service other than a report of the video circulating online.
It’s unclear what condition the two men are in after the incident, or whether they were students involved in some sort of hazing ritual.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon CEO Steve Mitchell also said the organization will take appropriate action to hold those accountable based on the investigation.
“We take this matter seriously and are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident while working closely with university officials and local law enforcement,” he said in a statement.
