The unhinged firebug stepped into a No. 3 train approaching 34th Street-Penn Station just after 3 a.m. and set the snoozing 56-year-old victim ablaze before taking off, cops said.
The attack left the victim so badly scorched that cops found skin on one of the seats on the train, sources said.
He was taken NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center for significant burn injuries, cops said.
Surveillance photos and video released by police a day later showed the suspected arsonist at the subway station, wearing a black hat, a gray hooded jacket, black pants, black boots and lugging a backpack.
