The moment a Samsung phone apparently exploded in an Indonesian man's pocket has been caught on CCTV.
The 47-year-old man was filmed in the lobby of a Hotel Ciputra in Semarang on September 30 carrying his phone in his shirt pocket.
The man can be seen touching his pocket just seconds before it explodes in his face.
He flings himself to the ground trying desperately to douse the flames.
Another man steps in to help remove the burning shirt.
