A woman is in critical condition in hospital after a gunman doused her with liquid and set her on fire on a tram in eastern Germany.
Police said no one was injured in the incident in Gera on Sunday, German news agency dpa reported.
Passengers stopped the tram by pressing the emergency stop button, and the attacker took advantage of this moment to escape.
The tram driver immediately began to extinguish the fire, and the 46-year-old woman was taken to hospital by helicopter.
Police later said they were searching for the victim's husband, also 46. They called on anyone who had seen him or knew of his whereabouts to come forward immediately and said they could not rule out the possibility that he posed a threat to society.
The reasons for the attack and the type of liquid used are still unknown.
