In the video released by police, a state trooper tried pulling over a motorcyclist in Little Rock for not having a license plate at about 1:15 a.m. on Oct. 13.
The motorcyclist, identified as Christopher Gaylor, is seen ignoring all traffic signals and weaving through cars.
As Gaylor worked his way toward Interstate 30, a second state trooper encountered him.
Gaylor continued into North Little Rock, exiting the freeway and traveling along the sidewalks of a shopping center.
Police say one trooper used their taser, causing the gasoline-filled backpack to burst into flames.
Troopers extinguished the fire and provided aid to Gaylor until paramedics arrived.
Police say Gaylor is in the hospital and expected to recover. He faces several charges, including felony fleeing, failure to register a vehicle and reckless driving.
