A 45-year-old man was set on fire in Times Square around 4 a.m. on Sunday. Witnesses reported the victim was doused with an accelerant and fled 100ft before first responders extinguished the flames. He is now stable in a hospital. Police believe the attack may not have been random and are actively searching for the assailant, who fled the scene. This incident follows a previous arson attack in December that resulted in a woman’s death on a subway, sparking concerns about street violence and safety in the city.
