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 were able to stop the tram by pressing the emergency stop button, and the attacker used this opportunity 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, adding that they could not currently rule out the possibility that he was a danger to the public.
The reason for the attack and the type of liquid used remain unknown.
