DEVELOPING: Man found on fire at Penn Station is rushed to hospital with burn injuries.
A man found on fire at Penn Station was rushed to the hospital with burn injuries Friday, cops said.
A passerby alerted two MTA police officers that a man was on fire at the bustling transit hub near W. 34th St. around 8:10 p.m., police said.
The man was on fire when police found him near the entrance to the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 trains, cops said.
Medics transported him to Weill Cornell Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available, cops and firefighters said.
It’s unclear how the man was set ablaze.
No word yet on whether this was a crime along the lines of last week’s attack on a woman in a Brooklyn subway car by a Guatemalan illegal immigrant, or if the man at Penn Station was drumming for Spinal Tap:
