CNN —A female passenger died after being set on fire by a man on a New York City subway train Sunday morning, according to police. Police officers conducting a routine patrol at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn encountered the victim on fire inside a subway car, Glickman said. Officials extinguished the fire, and EMS responded to the scene and pronounced the female dead, according to the detective.
