Police are searching for a suspect after a woman was set on fire and burned to death on a subway train in Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday in a horrifying and disturbing crime.
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) said it happened at the Stillwell Avenue Subway station in Coney Island at about 7:30 a.m.
Police said the woman was sleeping on a stationary "F" train.
That's when police said an unknown man approached the woman and lit her on fire before leaving the subway car.
EMS pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
Horrifying video posted online appears to show the woman standing in the train while engulfed in flames. A man, who matches the description of the suspect, is seen sitting on a bench just outside the train, watching as the woman burns.
