December 28th 2024.
In the bustling city of New York, a shocking incident occurred at Penn Station that left many bystanders in disbelief. It was reported that a man had been burned and set on fire, causing chaos and concern among commuters. This incident came just days after a similar tragedy where a woman was burned alive on a subway car in Brooklyn.
The incident took place around 8:10pm on a Friday evening at Penn Station, which is located beneath the iconic Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan. Upon arriving at the scene, the police found a 67-year-old man with severe burns on his body. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where it was reported that his injuries were serious, but not life-threatening.
According to USA Today, the man was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center and was said to be in stable condition, as reported by the New York Times. However, the cause of the fire and whether it was a targeted attack on the victim is still under investigation. As of now, no arrests have been made and the identity of the victim has not been disclosed.
The area near tracks 11 and 12 at Penn Station was cordoned off with yellow caution tape as officers worked to piece together what had happened. They have been reviewing surveillance footage from the station in hopes of shedding light on the incident. In a post on social media, conservative commentator Isabella Maria DeLuca expressed her shock and concern, saying, "A person has been set on fire near Penn Station in New York City. This is the second person to be burned at a train station in just a week. Pure insanity."
The city of New York has been on edge ever since the previous incident where a woman was set on fire while sleeping on a train on December 22. Police are working to identify the victim through fingerprints, DNA, and surveillance footage of her movements before the attack. Shocking footage from the aftermath shows the suspect, identified as Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, watching the woman burn as officers pass by. The 33-year-old man from Guatemala allegedly used a lighter to ignite her clothes and then fanned the flames with a shirt until she was completely engulfed. The woman tragically passed away at the scene after the fire was finally extinguished.
The situation at Penn Station has caused concern and fear among the community, and the police are doing everything in their power to find out the truth and bring justice to those involved. As the investigation continues, many are left wondering what could have caused these horrific incidents and hoping for a swift resolution.
