CNN — A man has been arrested after police accused him of throwing a “flammable substance” on a stranger, setting his shirt on fire in a New York City subway station.

 

Nile Taylor, 49, is facing eight charges, including assault, arson and reckless endangerment, after he threw an unknown flammable substance which ignited the 23-year-old victim’s shirt, according to the New York Police Department. The suspect was unknown to the victim, police said.
