When the Molotov Cocktail hits the ground, the flames ignite and blaze beside their intended victims.
A man has to jump out of the way as the raging fire catches on his bedding.
As the flames start to die down, one person gets up and watches the explosive fizzle out.
The attacker ran from the scene after throwing his explosives.
Police are hunting the vicious attacker and are still looking to identify the sick person, as they was wearing a mask.
New South Wales Police said: "Officers were responding to reports of two lit Molotov cocktails being thrown by a person wearing a mask.
"A third lit Molotov cocktail was thrown in the same area about 1.10pm the following day. Fortunately no one was hurt during either of these incidents."
