A man set himself on fire outside the courthouse where the Trump trial is taking place, as confirmed by two law enforcement sources. The incident occurred when the man entered a park across the street from the courthouse, where he began throwing flyers into the air. Subsequently, he retrieved an item from his backpack, which he used to ignite the fire, although the nature of the item remains unclear.
Following the incident, investigators are currently collecting the flyers scattered by the man. Witnesses reported that someone attempted to extinguish the flames using a fire extinguisher, while an EMT quickly arrived at the scene to provide aid to the man.
The New York Police Department officials are scheduled to provide a briefing to the media from the park shortly. Further details regarding the incident are not yet available, and the situation is still under investigation.
