A masked serial arsonist callously set a blaze next to a dozing subway passenger during a bizarre hour-long spree across Manhattan and Queens last week, police said.

The firebug first lit a parked NYPD police car on fire near City Hall at around 2:20 a.m. in front of 254 Broadway on Jan. 10, according to cops.

Both vehicles were left damaged from the flames, cops said.
