If there was only someone there to help her. Oh yeah you would try to arrest HIM.

[yukonj]

The last Good Samaritan had to fight for his life to avoid Prison> Force Alvin and his cronies to ride the subway everyday for a year

Why are reporters asking if she was homeless. The poor soul was set on fire The question should be why would a human being set another on fire.

The city of New York is on fire with rampant crime Disgusting

[m_prestonian]

Police are so proud that they found the guy from a tipster. Amazing, yeah right. Poor lady.

[lisayos]

"Great Work", really? She's dead because NYC subways are a disgrace.

[kelseyandnancy]

The extreme severe pain this poor soul felt is unimaginable. New York is a disgrace. Alvin Bragg is a disgrace

They’re really patting themselves on the back. While the subway system remains as unsafe as it’s ever been

[georgeannmarsh]

How many want to bet we’ll never get all the actual details?

[kathyabernathy]

Prayers for her family and friends, this poor woman suffered a horrible death 😢

[AlPeterson-fzyl]

She’s reading like she’s reading a Disney fairytale story

[snakepliskin]

A woman is absolutely horribly murdered and you stand there and act like you did something commendable because you "caught" the killer. Spare us.

[coffeetimedaily]

Someone probably could have stopped it but they would have been arrested and spent the next year and life savings defending themselves.

[midcoastprepper]

When they won't name the suspect, you already know why.

[The-Cute-One]

Wonder what the arrest record was of the killer? Crime, bail no bail released again and again? . Prayers for that lady and her family.

[jesusloredo]

This can not be true. According to Alvin Bragg the subway is the safest place around.

[buggyduggy]

You guys sure pat your self on the back awfully hard

[MorbidMind]

"What great work we did catching this man after he lit a woman on fire thanks to civilians phoning in his location" Are you kidding me? What kind of flagrant incompetence is going on at the NYPD?

[charlesfriscia]

She speaks like this was all prevented...SMH..

[buddhasshadow]

Cameras did not help the victim, you failed policing the public.

[leslielilly]

The cameras may solve crimes but they don't prevent crimes... Just like a flashlight cop,
