A man appeared to light himself on fire outside a New York City courthouse on Friday where a jury was being chosen for the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump.
Emergency crews rushed the person away on a stretcher after the fire was extinguished. The incident happened inside Collect Pond Park near the courthouse located in Lower Manhattan.
Additional information regarding the person’s condition was not immediately available.
MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — A person set themself on fire outside the courthouse where former President Donald Trump is on trial, PIX11 confirmed. Emergency crews rushed the person away on a stretcher after the fire was extinguished.
I was watching MSNBC on delay and it came up just as I was reading your post. Yasmin is going to need some trauma therapy but she kept it together on camera.
@RoLarenRED57 @opethminded CNN: "Investigators are now fanning out to collect the flyers the unknown man threw into the air, another senior law enforcement official. A CNN team on the ground observed one of the flyers. It said "NYU is a mob front" and had various allegations of wrongdoings against the school"
@deborahh @RoLarenRED57 @opethminded If this has to do with NYU and not the trial, we know that Spanky will be disappointed. He might even try to change the narrative. :(
@deborahh @RoLarenRED57 @opethminded So...sort of a conspiracy mental illness thing. Not monk-sets-self-on-fire-in-protest-against-war-crimes sort of thing.
NFL. Did you see Yasmin Vossoughian reporting live outside the courtroom when this happened? She was really shocked. She said the guy was about 50 feet from her.
“We have members of security details. NYPD is rushing to the scene. They are trying to come now ... officers are on the scene with fire extinguishers right now. They are trying to put this man out. They’re climbing over barricades to try to separate the public and put out the flame on this man. He has lit himself out in fire in front of the courthouse right now.””
Before jumping to conclusions, wait for facts. And FFS, please don't wish death on people, at least not in my feed. Thank you.

CNN doesn’t have much to add yet. The flyers the man threw in the air were collected as evidence.
