Two Atlantic County men have been arrested after allegedly setting their friend on fire while he was sleeping.

The victim left the home and was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus by family. He was then transferred to Jefferson for treatment.
Perez, 23, of Hammonton, was arrested March 25. Sult, 24, of Mays Landing, was arrested Monday.
Both are charged with aggravated assault, aggravated arson and conspiracy.
