Medics rushed to the scene and airlifted the young child, which was still alive and breathing when they arrived, to St Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia with severe burns.

However the baby succumbed to its injuries a short time later.

The woman, who witnesses say lit the child on fire, was taken to Deborah Hospital, in Brown Mills, New Jersey according toNBC Philadelphia.

She was then arrested after her condition stabilized.

Neighbor Dave Joseph, 45, told Bucks County Courier Times the woman said she was burning dog feces and said she had a calm demeanor.

Mr Joseph’s wife then notice what was really going on and screamed. The woman then tried to flee but residents stopped her.
