Sebastian Zapeta, a 33-year-old Guatemalan citizen, has been charged with murder and arson after allegedly setting a woman on fire on a New York City train Sunday morning.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the attack, stating Zapeta calmly approached the seated victim and ignited her clothing, which was fully engulfed in flames within seconds. Officers and an MTA employee extinguished the fire, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Zapeta was arrested later that day on another subway train, with a lighter in his pocket and clothing matching the suspect’s description. Authorities believe he did not know the victim, who remains unidentified.
