Police seek 2 boys who set fire to homeless man
The homeless man whose blanket was set on fire by two boys Tuesday night in Kensington has been identified as Angel DeJesus, 49.
The incident happened around 7 p.m. at the Liberty gas station at the corner of Lehigh Avenue and North Hope Street, police said. It was caught on videotape by the gas station's surveillance camera.
The grainy pictures appear to show the boys setting fire to a blanket covering DeJesus. The gas station owner said he allows DeJesus to sleep there occasionally to keep warm. DeJesus was treated at Episcopal Hospital for burns on his hand and released. Police were looking for the two boys.
