A Guatemalan man has been arrested for setting a woman on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the woman was on a stationary F train when she was approached by a man who used a lighter to ignite her clothing.
Officers said she was “motionless” when she was set on fire. It is not believed that they knew each other.
The victim died at the scene. He, meanwhile, hopped off the train, but sat on a bench outside the train car watching. The suspect was later arrested after a a group of local high schoolers recognized him and called 911.
He was found by authorities walking through subway carriages.
