A man has been arrested in New York City in connection with the death of a woman who was set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident on Sunday as “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being”.
She said the woman was on a stationary F train to Brooklyn when she was approached by a man who used a lighter to ignite her clothing, reports the BBC.
The victim died at the scene, she said, adding that the suspect had been arrested following a tip-off from a group of high school students as he rode the subway later on Sunday.
