A Florida man was rushed to a burn unit in New York City after setting himself on fire in a public park on Friday afternoon, outside of the courthouse where former U.S. president Donald Trump’s hush-money trial was taking place.

Before dousing himself in an “alcohol-based substance used for cleansing” and setting himself a light, Maxwell Azzarello emptied his pockets of “propaganda-based” papers and pamphlets and threw them all around him, according to representatives from the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

Passerbys and officers rushed to extinguish the suspect before he was taken in an ambulance. The man in his late 30s remains in critical condition at Cornell Burn Centre.

Amid the chaos, three NYPD officers and one court officer sustained minor injuries from their exposure to fire. They are in stable condition. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
