A man suffered burns inside Penn Station in Manhattan on Friday night, and investigators are looking into the cause of his injuries, authorities said.
First responders swarmed the main transit hub around 7:50 p.m. after MTA police received a report of a man starting a fire at the station, police said.
MTA officers found a 56-year-old man with burns to both legs and upper body, the NYPD said.
He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.
It is unclear how he sustained his burns.
Hours later, State Police and FDNY investigators were zeroing in on the New Jersey transit tunnel near Lines 1-12.
The tunnel was sealed off with police tape and authorities focused on what appeared to be pieces of white clothing scattered on the ground.
Friday night's incident occurred less than a week after a Guatemalan immigrant who was deported in 2018 allegedly set a woman on fire as she slept on an F train in Brooklyn, killing her. .
