Man sets himself on fire outside Donald Trump trial
A person who was on fire in a park outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump’s hush money trial is taking place has been rushed away on a stretcher.
The fire was extinguished on Friday shortly after a jury and alternatives had been seated in Trump’s criminal case.
A person could be seen lying on the ground on fire. People rushed over to douse the person with a fire extinguisher and try to bat the flames away.
Emergency responders then took the person away on a stretcher.
The fire happened in a park across the street from the courthouse which has been a gathering point for protesters and media outlets covering jury selection for the trial.
