Members of the NYPD Crime Scene Unit investigate the scene and canvass the area while examining evidence, including a fire extinguisher, jacket, and other items, at the scene where a man is set on fire in the heart of Times Square on Broadway and West 41st Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, United States, on March 16, 2025. The NYPD searches for a suspect who sets a man on fire in Midtown early Sunday morning. Police receive a 911 call at 3:55 a.m. for a person on fire at 41st Street and 7th Avenue. When police arrive at the scene, a 49-year-old man tells them that a male suspect approaches him, throws a liquid on him, and ignites a fire. The victim suffers burns to his face and arms. The NYPD Crime Scene Unit is at the scene. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
