Fourth homeless person attacked in San Diego, police say

Source: Reuters

A homeless man in San Diego was set on fire and critically injured early on Wednesday in the fourth in a series of attacks on transients in the city that have killed two people and are believed to be the work of a single suspect, police said.

San Diego police Captain David Nisleit told a news conference that witnesses to the latest attack saw an individual crouched over the flaming victim before running away.

"We need to locate this subject who is responsible now for four attacks, leaving two people dead and two people critically injured," Nisleit told reporters.

The latest victim was injured in his chest, in addition to being burned, Nisleit told local media.
