-girlfriend and the mother of his child.

A woman was severely
burned after being covered in gasoline and set on fire by her
knife-wielding ex-boyfriend and father of her child, police said.
The 40-year-old, who has not
been named, suffered the horrific attack outside a 7-Eleven store in
South Florida following a row with Roosevelt Mondesir, when they met so
that she could pick up her son.
She was waiting outside the
store in her silver Mercedes at around 3am on Monday when Mondesir
showed up in his white Jaguar without the boy and began hurling the fuel
over her, Boynton Beach Police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said.
She tried to run away and headed into the store for safety, attempting to hold the door shut.
But
the 52-year-old man chased her with a large knife, possibly a machete,
got the door open to pull her out and then ignited her.
In graphic surveillance video
which captured the horrifying attack, a man can be seen threatening a
woman with a large knife, struggling in the doorway of the store.
