A woman died after she was apparently lit on fire in a Brooklyn subway car, and police are investigating her death as a possible homicide, sources said.
Harrowing video obtained by the Daily News shows the woman standing near the door of stopped subway car at the Coney-Island-Stillwell Ave. stop, burning alive, while a man sits in a bench on the platform and watches.
“This is a person right here! Oh s–t,” a voice can be heard on the cellphone video, as what looks like a police officer walks by and talks into a radio.
The woman, who sources said was homeless, was approached by a man in a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Ave. subway stop at about 7:30 a.m.
She then ignited, and the man left the scene, sources said. EMS medics responded, and the woman was pronounced dead on the subway platform.
Police have made no arrests in the case. The woman’s identity has not yet been released.
