A person of interest was taken into custody in the death of a woman who was set on fire Sunday inside a Brooklyn subway train, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) said. According to police, the victim, as well as the 33-year-old person of interest, were both riding the F train just before 7:30 a.m. to the Stillwell Avenue Subway station in Coney Island. Police do not believe the two knew one another. When the train stopped at the end of the line, police said the man calmly walked up to the seated woman and set her on fire with his lighter. The woman’s clothing then “became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Sunday press conference.
