Man sets himself on fire outside Trump trial (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

The victim collapsed to the ground before the flames were put out

A man has set himself on fire outside the ‘hush money’ trial of former US President Donald Trump in New York City. The blaze was eventually extinguished, but it is unclear whether the man died from his injuries.

The dramatic incident took place on Friday afternoon, shortly after a final jury was chosen and seated.

Video footage showed a man engulfed in flames as he kneeled upright with his hands behind his head. After burning for around a minute, the visibly charred man collapsed to the ground and was extinguished by police officers.
