Police in New York City are searching for a suspect they say set a man on fire in Times Square shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday morning near West 41st Street and 7th Avenue.

Officers spotted the 45-year-old victim and extinguished the flames. He was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, police said.

Law enforcement officials declined to comment further, saying the case remains under investigation.

Video and images from the scene show the victim walking along the sidewalk shirtless and accompanied by firefighters after the flames were put out. Footage of the man being treated in an ambulance showed burns to his face, neck, chest and arms.
