The footage reveals a shocking incident where a driver pulls over and sets a homeless woman on fire, then allegedly kicks the victim before swiftly escaping the scene.

The unsettling surveillance video shows the suspect, identified as 34-year-old Jacqueline Popaibarra, driving her car onto a secluded street in South Sacramento on April 26. She halts beside a homeless encampment.

According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, Popaibarra exited her vehicle and engaged in a dispute with the 49-year-old homeless woman, who had just settled in to sleep for the night.

The homeless woman was taken to a hospital and intubated for several days, leaving her unable to speak or provide law enforcement with a statement, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

California police have arrested a woman after she set a homeless woman on fire, causing severe burn injuries, before kicking the injured victim and fleeing the scene in her car.

The victim positively identified Popaibarra, who has since been arrested on an unrelated robbery charge, as her assailant Tuesday. 

Popaibarra is in custody on $400,000 bail for the alleged attack.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
