A man was burned inside Manhattan's Penn Station train terminal on Friday, just days after a woman was set ablaze inside a Brooklyn subway car.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority police received a report of a man on fire at the transit hub just before 8pm, and when officers arrived on the scene, they found a 67-year-old man on fire near the entrance to the subway, according to the New York Daily News.
He had burn injuries to both her legs and upper body, which a fire department spokesman told the New York Times were serious but not life threatening.
The unidentified victim was then taken to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.
