An individual self-immolated in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court where Donald Trump’s criminal trial is taking place.

The fire broke out just after full jury selection ended, setting up the first criminal trial of an American president. Fire crews and police are on the scene. Footage shared by Politico showed police officers approaching the individual with fire extinguishers, attempting to put out the flames.

Police responded to a 911 call for aid shortly after 1.30 pm local time, a public information officer for the New York Police Department told The Independent. EMS then transported the individual, who was in critical condition, to an area hospital. There are no additional safety concerns at this time, the public information officer said.
