Photos released by police of the alleged NYC subway fire suspect (NYPD Crime Stoppers).

A woman sleeping aboard a subway car in New York City was set on fire early Sunday morning by a random stranger who walked up to her and set her clothes ablaze with a lighter — engulfing her entire body in flames and killing her — before calmly walking off and watching her brutal demise from the platform, completely “unbeknownst” to cops who responded, police officials say.

The New York Police Department announced at a press conference on Sunday evening that a suspect with no known ties or connections to the victim, who has not been publicly identified, was taken into custody after a group of “high school-age New Yorkers” spotted him aboard the subway again later in the day and notified authorities. A manhunt had been underway for him and photos were released of the man on the F train where the woman was set on fire at around 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to NYPD officials. He was caught on “another moving train” at Herald Square in midtown Manhattan, officials said.
