A deeply tragic event unfolded in New York City, involving a migrant from Guatemala who has been arrested for an unspeakable crime.

According to reports from local news outlets, a suspect set a woman on fire while she was sound asleep during her subway ride. This horrific incident occurred early on a Sunday morning in Brooklyn.

The details of the crime, as captured in disturbing footage shared online, reveal the unimaginable: after igniting the fire, the suspect did nothing but watch as the victim suffered and succumbed to the flames. The police have described it as one of the most inhumane acts ever seen on the F train, specifically at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue Station.

Passengers aboard the train were overwhelmed with shock and horror and reported that the victim, a New Yorker, was completely unsuspecting and undeserving of such violence.

As the train arrived at the station, witnesses observed the suspect approach the sleeping woman. Seated quietly, she was an easy target for the brutal attack.

The assailant used a lighter to set her clothing ablaze, and within mere seconds, the fire began to engulf her body.

Soon, patrol officers in the area detected the smoke and flames, prompting a swift reaction.

Despite their immediate efforts to rush to the woman’s aid, extinguishing the blaze, it was, regrettably, too late to save her life. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
