Surveillance footage from inside the train captured the suspect, who was wearing a white cap, suddenly hurling the gasoline onto the floor of the rammed carriage as fellow commuters stood idly by.

Unnerved passengers could be seen immediately fleeing as the flammable liquid streamed through the carriage — with one woman slipping and losing her shoes in the rush to escape.
Moments later, the man was caught kneeling down and setting the train ablaze.
The alleged perp, who was arrested and charged with attempted murder and arson, later told cops that he was angry about the outcome of his recent divorce lawsuit and had purchased the gasoline weeks before.
It wasn’t immediately clear if his ex was on the train.

“Spraying a large amount of gasoline on a subway used by an unspecified number of passengers and then setting it on fire, causing a large-scale fire and spreading toxic gases, is an act of murder tantamount to terrorism,” prosecutors said.
“If the evacuation had been delayed, the possibility of casualties would have been very high.”
Six people were injured in the ordeal, officials said, though it wasn’t immediately clear if they suffered burns.
Another 23, including the alleged perp, were treated in hospitals for smoke inhalation.
