The migrant accused of torching a homeless woman on a Brooklyn subway made his first court appearance Tuesday to face murder charges — and prosecutors revealed he used his shirt to fan the flames after he ignited her clothes with a lighter.

(POOL / Curtis Means) After his arrest, Zapeta told police he ““drinks a lot of liquor” and “doesn’t know what happened,” Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said Tuesday. Zapeta approached the victim — who authorities still haven’t been able to identify — as she slept in an F train stopped at the end of the line at Coney Island-Stillwell Ave. station at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to cops. He and the woman appeared to be strangers and he said nothing to her as he set her clothing ablaze with a lighter, cops said. “(He) began fanning the fire using a shirt. The deceased became entirely engulfed in flames. The defendant then stepped out of the train onto a platform and continued fanning the flames with a shirt,” Rottenberg said in court.

Police released photos of him to the media and a trio of high schoolers spotted him on another train later in the day and called 911, the commissioner said. Cops and transit officials held the train at 34th St. in Manhattan and arrested him. Zapeta was arrested by Customs and Border Patrol in Arizona on June 2, 2018, sources said, then removed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and returned to Guatemala. But he made his way back to the U.S. sometime after.
