Graphic video shows attacked woman in fireball

6/12/2012

This video isn't for sensitive viewers. In a shocking display of domestic violence, Roosevelt Mondesir allegedly doused his ex-girlfriend — and the mother of his son — with gasoline and then lit her on fire. The former couple met at a West Palm Beach, Fla., 7-Eleven to exchange custody of their son. Mondesir arrived without the child and threatened the 34-year-old woman with a knife while soaking her in gasoline. Surveillance video shows the woman as she attempts to evade Mondesir and then gets engulfed in a fireball. Though she's now in the hospital with serious burns, the woman is expected to survive.
