WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A South Florida woman told a 911 dispatcher that she was set on fire at a gas station and said the man who attacked her also had a knife.

Police released emergency calls in the case Tuesday. The woman was set on fire at a 7-Eleven in Boynton Beach on Monday. The attack was caught on the store’s surveillance camera.

The 34-year old woman has not been identified. The father of her 4-year-old son is charged with first-degree attempted murder in the attack.

Roosevelt Mondesir has been denied bond. He does not yet have an attorney.

In the 911 call, the woman repeatedly screams “It hurts!” after being doused in gasoline and set ablaze.
