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.

The40-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, 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.

'Get away from
me!' she can be heard shouting.They disappear from view until she returns in a massive fireball, screaming and running around the parking lot.
