An 18-year-old man, Hiram Carrero, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly setting a homeless man on fire while he slept on a New York City subway train. The attack occurred early Monday morning on the No. 3 train, and the victim, a 56-year-old man, sustained severe burns but is expected to survive. Surveillance footage helped identify Carrero, who faces multiple charges including assault and arson. This incident follows a similar attack in December 2024, raising concerns about subway safety.
