An unidentified man outside of the Manhattan Criminal Court building appears to have poured gasoline on himself and abruptly set himself on fire alongside onlookers and pedestrians.

According to Laura Coates, a CNN reporter on the scene, his body burned for around a minute and a half, and ambulances are currently on the way, with loud sirens being audibly heard.

The crowd of people around the building watched in shock and terror as the man sat down and took on the flames.

CNN also reported that after two minutes or so, someone had ran over and sprayed the burning man with a fire extinguisher. Nevertheless, Coates went on to say that the man appeared to be taking part “in an act of a self-immolation.”

She also described seeing “a totally charred human being.” 

Emergency crews rushed the charred man on a stretcher after he was sprayed with the fire extinguisher outside court where the Trump jury was selected.
