A ter­ri­fy­ing inci­dent unfold­ed on a New York City sub­way train, leav­ing a young man injured and rais­ing safe­ty con­cerns with­in the pub­lic trans­porta­tion sys­tem. 23-year-old Petrit Ali­jaj, vis­it­ing from Alba­nia, dis­played remark­able brav­ery when a stranger attacked him with flam­ing liq­uid on the No. 1 train.

Ali­jaj recount­ed the har­row­ing expe­ri­ence, stat­ing that the assailant, iden­ti­fied as 49-year-old Nile Tay­lor, board­ed the train car­ry­ing a cup of liq­uid. In a sud­den and unpro­voked attack, Tay­lor ignit­ed the liq­uid and hurled it at Ali­jaj. The flames engulfed Ali­ja­j’s shirt, prompt­ing him to take imme­di­ate action.

Pri­or­i­tiz­ing his fiancée’s safe­ty above his own, Ali­jaj instinc­tive­ly shield­ed her and their cousin from the burn­ing liq­uid. Though suf­fer­ing burns on 30% of his body, Ali­jaj expressed no regrets, empha­siz­ing his unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to pro­tect­ing his loved ones.

“I pro­tect my fiancée with my body,” Ali­jaj brave­ly stat­ed from his hos­pi­tal bed, his ban­dages a stark reminder of the ordeal.

Investigation Underway

Police appre­hend­ed Tay­lor short­ly after the inci­dent and are inves­ti­gat­ing his poten­tial involve­ment in a sim­i­lar sub­way attack report­ed in Feb­ru­ary. This lat­est inci­dent marks the sec­ond time in four months that a pas­sen­ger has been tar­get­ed with flam­ing liq­uid on the NYC sub­way system.

Ali­ja­j’s sto­ry sheds light on the ongo­ing safe­ty con­cerns with­in the city’s pub­lic trans­porta­tion net­work. While Ali­jaj recov­ers from his injuries, the inves­ti­ga­tion into the attack and Tay­lor’s poten­tial con­nec­tion to the pri­or inci­dent continues.
