A young woman in San Francisco was doused with flammable liquid and set on fire by her boyfriend according to NBC News on Jan. 7. The woman is in the hospital with life-threatening burns.
Officers from the city’s Bayview District responded to reports of a woman screaming and found a woman in her 20s badly burned. The woman’s identity has not been released by police and her boyfriend is the alleged attacker.
