The Same Guy?

A known, repeat offender, released (again) by Fata$$'s SAFE-T Act, supposed to be on electronic monitoring, covers an innocent bystander in a flammable liquid, then chases her down to ignite it:

  • Chicago police have detained a suspect in connection with the horrific setting of a woman on fire aboard a Blue Line train in the Loop on Monday night, according to a source familiar with the investigation. And, the source says, the suspect is supposed to be wearing an ankle monitor for a pending aggravated battery case in which a Cook County judge refused to keep him in custody.

    The man, who has a history of arson cases, including fires set downtown, was arrested around midday in the Loop as he prepared to board a train near Clark and Washington.

    We have also learned that, contrary to the initial information released by CPD, there was no argument between the victim and the assailant. Rather, a source said, the attack appears completely random and unprovoked.

    At about 9:25 p.m. Monday, the 26-year-old woman was sitting on the train using her phone when the man walked up and poured liquid from a beverage bottle on her head, a source said. The woman ran through the train car, but he caught up with her and set the liquid, as well as portions of his own body, on fire, according to a source.

So is this going to be Chicago's version of Iryna Zarutska?  

Someone sent us a still how from the CTA surveillance cameras:


 And here's the City Hall arsonist from a number of hours beforehand:


Could be.
