A Bronx man who set a woman's face on fire following a dispute earlier this week was arrested yesterday, police say.

According to the New York Daily News, 53-year-old William Norwood was arguing with a woman over $10 in the borough's Tremont section early Tuesday morning. The Daily News reports that Norwood splashed lighter fluid in the 48-year-old victim's face, then ignited it using his lighter. 

The woman was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center after suffering minor burns and singed hair. Meanwhile, Norwood was charged with attempted murder, weapons possession, and assault.
