NextImg:Man Found With Burns at Penn Station Is Taken to Hospital, Police Say

A man was found with burns on his body at Penn Station in New York on Friday evening and was transported to a hospital, where he was in stable condition, fire and police officials said.

Fire officials responded to a report at about 8 p.m. that a man who was at the train station in Manhattan had sustained burns, the New York Fire Department said in a statement.

A 56-year-old man was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, the New York Police Department said in a statement. It was not clear if the authorities knew the man’s identity.

A fire department spokesman said in a phone interview on Friday night that the burns were serious but not life-threatening when the man was being transported. A police spokesman said that the man was in stable condition at the hospital on Friday night.

At Penn Station, the police blocked a hallway near the entrance to tracks 11 and 12 with yellow caution tape. Officers with the New York State Police, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department and the New York Fire Department were at the scene in Midtown Manhattan.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fire and whether there was any criminality behind it.

The episode, at one of New York’s busiest train hubs, came days after the fatal burning of a woman, who was set on fire at another subway station in the city.

This is a developing story.
