The images are shocking. A man tried to set himself on fire Friday in front of the New York court where former President Donald Trump is on trial, according to American media images.
The victim, with both hands behind his head, turned into a living torch, towards which police officers rushed, before a fire extinguisher was used against the blaze. It would be a man, according to CNN. The reasons for his action are unknown at this time.
Donald Trump is being prosecuted in this case for hidden payments to buy the silence of a former porn star, Stormy Daniels, a few days before the 2016 election which he won narrowly against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
