A Phoenix man is accused of setting his ex-girlfriend on fire just hours after she ended their relationship.

Phoenix police say the woman broke up with 24-year-old Angel Nahle on May 24. That night, investigators say Nahle repeatedly called and texted her, then showed her a bottle filled with gasoline over FaceTime and threatened to burn her car.

Police say Nahle later showed up at her apartment near 27th Avenue and Bethany Home Road. When the woman went outside, investigators say he poured gasoline on the left side of her body and ignited it with a lighter.
She suffered third-degree burns and had to undergo multiple surgeries and skin graft procedures.

The woman did not report the attack until August, telling investigators she feared retaliation. Police say Nahle had also told her to claim the injuries came from a carburetor fire.

Investigators say the woman later recorded a phone call in which Nahle allegedly admitted he first thought about shooting her, but instead decided to buy gasoline and set her on fire.

Nahle was arrested at his workplace in Tempe and is facing multiple felony charges, including aggravated assault and stalking.
