New York City police say they have taken into custody a person of interest in the death of a woman who may have fallen asleep on a stationary subway train before being lit on fire by a man she didn’t know.

Police arrested a man they said set a woman on fire while she appeared to be asleep on a New York City subway train on Sunday morning, killing her. The woman, who has not been identified, sat motionlessly aboard a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn at about 7:30 a.

The suspect, an illegal immigrant, is facing murder and arson charges. An illegal immigrant from Guatemala accused of setting a woman on fire in a subway train at New York City and watching her burn to death insists he has no memory of the horrifying attack.

Police said an unknown male had approached the woman, set her on fire, and then left the subway car around 7:30 a.m.
