The Pennsylvania man accused of dousing his ex-girlfriend with perfume and then setting her on fire was nabbed Saturday after hiding out for two days, police said.

Clinton Cohen, 27, was apprehended in Pittsburgh after he allegedly attacked Maria Redman, 22, last Thursday in her apartment in Springdale, about 18 miles northeast of the city.

The gruesome act appeared even more heinous when cops described how Cohen allegedly choked and beat Redman before setting her on fire — all while their 3-month-old daughter watched in the same room, reported ABC affiliate WTAE-TV.
