Law enforcement sources said the man appeared to be homeless, and a preliminary investigation does not appear to suggest that the man set himself on fire.
The transit station fire comes less than a week after a sleeping woman was set on fire aboard an F train in Brooklyn.
The woman's suspected fire-starter was indicted Friday on murder and arson charges. Prosecutors have alleged the Sebastian Zapeta fanned the flames with a shirt before watching the woman burn from a platform bench.
