The man who was severely burned when a maniac tossed flaming liquid on him on the subway Saturday jumped in front of his fiancée to protect her, he told The Post from the hospital.

Petrit Alijaj, 23, was completely covered in bandages on his upper body as he lay down in his bed at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Hospital, still in shock from the random attack earlier in the day. 

Doctors told him he has burns on 30 percent of his body and he expects to be holed up in the hospital for at least a week to recover.
