The New York Police Department (NYPD) is searching for the man who allegedly set fire to a sleeping woman in a Coney Island F train.
The New York Post obtained video of the man watching her burn alive.
I will not share the video.
We have no information on the man. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s an illegal alien.
From The New York Post:
NYPD officers responded to reports of a fire just before 7:30 a.m. at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station and found the woman engulfed in fire while sitting on an idling F train, police told The Post.She was found with liquor bottles surrounding her, though it was not immediately clear if they played any part in the fire, sources said.Investigators believe that the woman was sleeping when a man sitting across from her got up, walked by her and threw a match on her, engulfing her in fire, sources said.
The publication reported that “the man calmly looks on as flames engulf the unidentified woman.”
A cop walked by the open door, said something on his radio, and continued walking down the platform.
The suspect got up, and the video ended. He likely walked away.
Authorities put up a $10,000 reward for any information.
