Maniac who set NYC straphanger on fire was behind earlier similar incident: cops
The deranged nut who tossed flaming liquid at an unsuspecting straphanger also tried to torch a group of commuters at a Manhattan subway station earlier this year, cops said Sunday.
The suspect, Nile Taylor, 49, gave an icy stare to photographers as he was led from Transit District 2 to Manhattan court for arraignment in the weekend case Sunday afternoon.
Taylor was in custody on an assault rap in the fiery Saturday attack on 23-year-old Petrit Alijaj at the Varick Street station in Manhattan when he was identified and charged in a similar Feb. 5 incident at the West 28th Street subway station, too, police said.
