Man set on fire in Times Square, leaving him horrifically burned: video

A man was set on fire in Times Square early Sunday after his attacker doused him with an accelerant from a food cart.

The 45-year-old victim, who knew the suspect, suffered burns to his face and arms.

He ran about 100 feet while on fire before a bystander used a fire extinguisher to help.

The attacker fled north on Broadway, and police are still searching for him, the New York Post has reported.

The victim is in stable condition at a hospital, and authorities are reviewing security footage to identify the suspect.
