NEW YORK (AP) A woman who was set on fire at her New York City apartment by her former boyfriend while her two young children were at home is being treated for burns to her upper body.

Police say the children were being treated for smoke inhalation in the fiery attack at her Queens home on Sunday morning. The ex-boyfriend was taken to Harlem Hospital with burns to his hands and legs.

Police say the 25-year-old suspect has not yet been charged.

A fire official tells the New York Post on its Web site on Sunday that the attacker knocked on the woman's door after first setting a fire in the hallway so she couldn't escape. The man then tossed a flammable liquid at the woman and lit a match.
