An 18-year-old Berkley student was set on fire Monday while riding a bus in Oakland and suffered second- and third-degree burns and is now in stable condition at a burn center in San Francisco.
Fleischman, who was wearing a skirt, had fallen asleep on the bus when a 16-year-old Oakland High School student allegedly set the skirt on fire. The 16-year-old was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon and could face other charges.
