   A teenager is facing a federal arson charge for allegedly setting a   
   sleeping homeless man on fire on a New York City subway train, officials   
   said.   
      
   Hiram Carrero, 18, was arrested on Thursday night and appeared in   
   Manhattan federal court on Friday, authorities said.   
      
   The 56-year-old victim was asleep on a 3 train when, around 3 a.m.   
   Monday, the suspect walked into the car at 34th Street Penn Station in   
   Midtown Manhattan, according to police. Surveillance images released in   
   the federal complaint show the victim completely alone in the subway   
   car.   
      
   Carrero allegedly approached the victim and set his legs on fire,   
   investigators said. Carrero then allegedly fled the train right when the   
   doors were closing, according to the complaint.   
      
   The victim was still covered in flames when he exited the subway car at   
   Times Square, the next stop, the complaint said. Surveillance footage   
   showed him sitting on the platform with flames rising from his upper   
   legs.   
      
   Law enforcement responded and extinguished the blaze and then rushed the   
   victim to a hospital in critical condition, the complaint said.   
      
   On Friday, Carrero made his initial appearance in court where a federal   
   magistrate ordered him released. Prosecutors appealed to a district   
   court judge who ordered him held.
