WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGERY NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN
While the city prepares for Christmas, windows glowing with lights and avenues buzzing with last-minute activity, evil lurks in public spaces.
A woman sleeping on the F train was set on fire, allegedly by a man armed with a matchbook. The suspect sat on a platform bench and watched the victim, who was conscious and standing upright, burn.

If the perpetrator turns out to be another violent homeless man, the Christmas Subway Immolation should become even weightier. If he turns out to be an illegal alien who crossed into the country during the Biden-Harris open border era, we will have the trifecta of homelessness, subway crime, and illegal alien violence.
This is a developing story.
