Crime In NYC @CrimeInNYC The man who was severely burned when a "maniac" tossed flaming liquid on him on the subway yesterday had jumped in front of his fiancée to protect her.
Petrit Alijaj, 23, was completely covered in bandages on his upper body as he lay down in his bed at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Hospital, still in shock from the "random" attack earlier in the day.
Doctors told him he has burns on 30 percent of his body and he expects to be holed up in the hospital for at least a week to recover.
Alijaj, who is originally from Albania, said he was sitting on the No. 1 train with his fiancée and his cousin on their way to visit the Statue of Liberty around 2:45 p.m. when they pulled into the Varick Street station in lower Manhattan.
The assailant, later identified as 49-year-old Nile Taylor, got on with a cup in his hand filled with some liquid.
“He had a cup,” Alijaj said, as he pointed to a cup on his bedside table, “like this, maybe smaller, something inside, like oil, he made fire and he threw it all.”
Alijaj said he was able to turn his body to protect his fiancée and his cousin, who were sitting next to him.
Taylor also fled the train and Alijaj was concerned he’d return with more flammable liquid.
He didn’t think the burns were that bad at first, but said he realized he was covered in blisters when he arrived at the hospital with burns on his neck, ears, chest, arms and left hand.
He told the Post that doctors were not sure yet how bad his burns were, saying they needed to determine “how deep the fire got into skin.”
Alijaj said he’s been living in New York for about a year.
