A 33-year-old illegal migrant who set a stranger on fire on a New York City subway told officers he was drunk at the time and couldn’t remember it.
Sebastian Zapeta-Calil has been charged with murder and arson in the first degree after the woman, who has not yet been named, burned to death on the F train in Brooklyn on Sunday morning.
Police said Zapeta-Calil lit the unnamed passenger on fire as she slept on board the train before sitting back to watch her burn as she leaned dying on the carriage door.
Law enforcement sources told The New York Post that he was arrested a short time after with a lighter in his pocket and that he told investigators he was drunk and had no recollection of it happening.
He was pictured perp walking out of the NYPD 60th Precinct building in Coney Island on Monday afternoon. The victim has not yet been identified.
Chilling footage showed the moment a man in a hoodie sat on the platform at Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island and watched as the woman became engulfed by flames.
Zapeta-Calil can even be seen fanning the flames in one clip while other New Yorkers filmed the horror on their phones and cops walked on by.
Anonymous sources also told the Post that Zapeta-Calil was in the country illegally after previously being deported at the Arizona border in June 2018. It’s unclear how he got back into the US.
Cops walked on by ?
This bastard needs the same thing done to him

Well duh, the Biden / Harris administration left the back door unlocked and Zapeta-Calil walked right back into this country.
Biden will pardon him
