Dramatic Incident Near Trump's Trial Venue Leaves Man
Critically Injured
Emergency responders swiftly attended to a distressing scene
outside the courthouse where jury selection for Donald Trump's trial was
underway, as a person set themselves ablaze. Witnesses recounted the harrowing
moment when a man poured a flammable liquid over himself before igniting the
fire, prompting emergency crews to rush to the scene.
The New York City Fire Department promptly responded to
reports of an individual engulfed in flames and transported the critically
injured patient to New York Presbyterian-Cornell Hospital for urgent medical
care.
The incident, which unfolded in Collect Pond Park, was
witnessed by multiple people. Witnesses noted the man's disturbing actions,
including throwing pamphlets into the air, purportedly making allegations about
New York University.
Describing the rapid sequence of events, one witness
recalled the unsettling sound of papers scattering as the man prepared to set
himself on fire. Another witness expressed the shock and helplessness felt as
the tragic scene unfolded before their eyes.
Amid the chaos, speculation arose regarding the motive
behind the self-immolation, with uncertainty lingering over its connection to
the ongoing trial proceedings involving the former president.
