1:28pm–#Bridgeport Connecticut–Police and fire officials are investigating a bizarre incident at Mountain Grove Cemetery at 2675 North Avenue.  Workers at the cemetery called emergency personnel  for a man who appeared to have burn injuries on his legs.  Fire officials said he had some serious burns on his legs and was transported to the hospital.  Cemetery personnel said they have never seen him before, police said he had identification on him but did not release his name at this time.  There was scattered cigarettes, what appeared to be lighter fluid and lots of other miscellaneous items scatter about.  The overturned gravestone was probably knocked over after the man caught fire but nothing is certain at this time.   Two ball caps were set between a ground gravestone and something was set on fire between them.  The picture was intentionally photographed sideways so the names could not be seen out of respect of those interred there.
