The violent career criminal busted for setting an innocent young woman on fire on a Chicago train had more than 70 prior arrests to his name — as the feds rage that he “had no business being on the streets.”

Lawrence Reed, 50, was hit with a federal terrorism charge after he was caught on camera dousing the 26-year-old woman in gasoline, chasing her through the train car and then setting her alight on Monday night, according to authorities.

He is due in federal court Friday for the attack — during which he allegedly shouted at his helpless victim, “Burn alive, bitch.” Previous 1 of 14 Next
