Woman set on fire in New York City subway




I was on my way to work, it was early morning and i was looking at my phone, I did not see his face, but i could see him in the corner of my eye, he sat down next to me. I could smell something, like a candle burning or something. Then I felt a little warm on my leg and I thought to myself, 'That's weird, I don't feel good.' I noticed a man next to me with a lighter in his hand, he set me on fire.

I didn't know what to do. I just started screaming. I tried to put the fire out with my hands but it wasn't working. I was so scared. I thought I was going to die.

The man just sat there and watched me burn. He didn't say anything. He didn't try to help me. He just watched me suffer.

I don't know why he did this to me. I don't know why he wanted to kill me. I don't know anything about him. I just want him to be caught and punished for what he did.


I am so grateful to the people who helped me. The people who called 911, the firefighters who put out the fire, the doctors and nurses who took care of me. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me during this difficult time.

I am still recovering from my injuries. I have a long way to go, but I am determined to get better. I want to be able to live my life again. I want to be able to go out and enjoy myself without being afraid. I want to be able to feel safe again.

I know that I will never be the same after what happened. But I am determined to not let this experience define me. I am determined to not let this man ruin my life.

I am a survivor. I am strong. I will get through this.
