The man arrested on murder and arson charges in the death of a woman who was set on fire inside a subway train has been arraigned, while police said the identity of the victim was still “pending.”

A suspect has been detained in connection with a horrific incident on the New York City subway that left a woman burned alive on Sunday morning. The man, reportedly identified as Sebastian Zapeta, is accused of setting fire to a sleeping woman aboard a Coney Island F train.

The New York City Police Department identified the sleeping woman a man set on fire while aboard the subway last week. Debrina Kawam, 57, had recently moved to New York City from Toms River, a township on the Jersey Shore. She had a “brief stint” in the city’s homeless shelter system, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Officials identified the woman who was burned to death inside a New York City subway train on Dec. 22 as 57-year-old Debrina Kawam.

The suspect, identified by police as Sebastian Zapeta, was taken into custody hours after the woman died on Sunday morning.

Law enforcement officials reported that the suspect was apprehended at a different Manhattan subway station approximately eight hours after the attack.
