NYPD officers responded to reports of a fire just before 7:30 a.m. at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station and found the woman engulfed in fire while sitting on an idling F train.
Investigators believe that the woman was sleeping when a man sitting across from her got up, walked by her and threw a match on her, engulfing her in fire, sources said.
An MTA worker told The Post it looked like the woman's clothes were "burnt off" completely.
"It's scary," Brooklyn construction manager Alex Gureyev, 39 said. "It's going down hill a bit."
