A man set himself on fire outside the New York courthouse where former President Donald Trump is being tried for an alleged hush money payment.
On Friday, with several news cameras present, a man set himself on fire. The act occurred near where a group of Trump supporters were protesting. The presence of security barricades hampered a response from police and emergency services.
Flames and smoke broke out around the body.
Several people tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the fire with their coats. A video showed the man being doused with a fire extinguisher. The fire burned for nearly two minutes before being extinguished.
The man was seen in another video being taken away on a stretcher by first responders.
The incident occurred moments after a full jury of 12 New Yorkers and six alternatives were seated at Trump’s trial. With those in the court unaware of what was going on outside, Judge Juan Merchan had just dismissed the jurors until Monday at 9:30 a.m., the Associated Press reported.
The motives of the man are currently unknown, but he may have thrown fliers in the air, according to a Politico reporter on the scene.
“It’s very sad news,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday when asked about the incident. She dodged questions about additional security in New York City citing the “developing” situation and role of local authorities.
