A man set himself ablaze outside Donald Trump’s trial in New York City on Friday, sending protesters screaming.
The man’s condition and motive wasn’t immediately clear, but multiple reporters, including those speaking on a CNN live broadcast, said the stench of the flames lingered even minutes later.
The New York Times reported that onlookers “screamed” as “bright orange flames engulfed the man,” who was in Collect Pond Park, just across from the Manhattan courthouse where the final jurors in Trump’s criminal hush-money trial had just been chosen Friday afternoon.
The shocking incident occurred in an area that was cordoned-off for Trump supporters, who reportedly fled the scene ASAP as the man set himself ablaze.
