A homeless drug addict set ablaze while sleeping in the stairwell of a Lower East Side NYCHA building remained unidentified Friday — a week after an cruel building resident set him on fire, police said.
The victim, who is believed to be in his 30s, remained in critical condition with severe burns across 75% of his body at the New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center burn unit Friday.
The man, who regularly slept in hallways and stairwells of the Samuel Gompers Houses building on Pitt St., was set on fire as he dozed on a third-floor landing about 4:50 p.m. on Nov. 5, cops said.

A homeless addict set ablaze during a horrifying, caught-on-camera attack inside a Lower East Side NYCHA building has died, authorities said Saturday.
The victim, whom officials have yet to identify and is known only as John Doe, died at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center burn unit Thursday after clinging to life for 13 days.
Nathaniel Terry, who lives in the building, was arrested for setting the victim’s pants leg afire with a lighter, police said. When he was arrested, Terry said he was trying to “scare” the victim off, a police source said.
