POLICE have launched a manhunt after this dramatic moment when a car exploded outside Oxford Parkway station last week.
They are looking for this man, who claimed he got off the train 'at the wrong station' at just before 11pm last Monday.
He was shown the way to the bus stop by a security guard but instead walked to the car park where he threw a rock at the Mercedes window, got in the car, and then set it on fire.
The security guard then saw the car bursting into flames and dialled 999.
But in an unexpected twist of events when the guard returned to his desk he found the man sitting down and eating his dinner.
He was then thrown out of the station.
The car was completed destroyed by the fire, but nobody was hurt.
Officers have now released the CCTV footage of the car exploding and photographs of the man they think could help with their investigation.
Anybody who recognises him should contact the British Transport Police by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 367 of 04/04/20.
Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously.
