A 45-year-old man was set on fire in Times Square early Sunday, leaving him badly burned, police said.
An attacker threw a flammable substance on the victim just before 4 a.m. at W. 41th St. and Seventh Ave., then lit him on fire, cops said.
Video posted on social media shows the victim wrapped in a blue blanket conscious and alert as first responders lead him into an ambulance. Inside the ambulance, burns are visible on the man’s face, neck and chest.
Cops are looking for a suspect with a medium complexion dressed in blue.
Medics took the victim to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in stable condition.
