Outrage over 'coward' NYPD officers who did NOTHING as illegal migrant burned woman alive on subway By MELISSA KOENIG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 23:50 GMT, 24 December 2024 | Updated: 00:21 GMT, 25 December 2024 e-mail 8 View comments The New York City police department is facing outrage after officers were caught on camera walking past a woman on fire in the subway. Terrifying footage posted online shows the woman leaning against the door frame on the F train at Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island as flames erupted from her head and waist , as pieces of fabric from her clothes apparently fall to the ground.
A Metropolitan Transportation Authority police officer could then be seen casually walking past, and just looking back at the still-burning woman. Moments later, another officer walked past and put his hands up, apparently incredulous about the incident. Only the alleged perpetrator Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, approached the burning woman to commit the vile act of fanning the flames with a shirt.
One of the cops, noticing what he was doing but apparently oblivious to the fact he was the alleged killer, is heard telling the onlookers to stand back from the flames. Zapeta-Calil, a Guatemalan migrant who snuck into the country after being deported by the Trump administration, was charged Monday with first-degree murder. NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a press conference that officers who responded were not aware the suspect was on the scene at the time.
