A ride on a Chicago Transit Authority train turned into a horrifying scene on Monday night after a woman was doused with liquid and set on fire during a violent argument.
According to Fox News, Chicago police said the Attack unfolded around 9:25 p.m., when the 26-year-old woman got into a dispute with a 45-year-old man while riding the train. What began as a verbal confrontation quickly escalated into a physical assault.
“That altercation became physical when the offender poured a liquid onto the victim and ignited it, causing the victim to start on fire,” the Chicago Police Department said in a statement.
Authorities said the suspect fled the moment the train came to a stop, leaving the woman badly injured on the platform. Police announced on Tuesday afternoon that a person of interest had been taken into custody, though no additional details were released.
