HOUSTON – Police in Houston say a woman was doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire in the doorway of her apartment and is in critical condition.
Police spokesman Victor Senties said Monday that the 33-year-old woman was attacked when she answered her front door Saturday night.
He wouldn't give any details about the attacker and said no one had been arrested.
Senties told The Associated Press that the victim was hospitalized in critical condition with burns over a major portion of her body.
Witness Alejandra Chavira said she saw the victim running and described the woman as being on fire "from head to toe."
Neighbors helped roll her on the ground to put out the fire.
