New York City police apprehended a suspect in the fatal arson of a woman on a subway train. The suspect, identified after being recognized by three high school students who had seen his images from surveillance and police body cam video, allegedly set the victim's clothing on fire on a stationary train in Brooklyn. The victim, who was possibly sleeping, died at the scene.
By Susan Haigh, Associated PressNew York Police officers clear a train at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue Terminal in the Brooklyn borough of New York.
Transit police apprehended the suspect after receiving a report from three high school students who had recognized the man. They had seen images of the suspect taken from surveillance and police body cam video and widely distributed by police. Tisch said the suspect and the woman, both of whom have not been identified, were riding a subway train without any interaction between them to the end of the line in Brooklyn at around 7:30 a.m.
After later receiving a 911 call from the teenagers, other transit officers identified the man on another subway train and radioed ahead to the next station, where more officers kept the train doors closed, searched each car and ultimately apprehended him without incident, said Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta. The man had a lighter in his pocket when he was taken into custody, Tisch said.
