Just moments ago, a young man doused himself in a liquid and lit himself on fire in the park in front of the courthouse, after throwing coloured pamphlets in the air.
Press here covering the trial saw it happening and everyone in the area started screaming.
There’s a massive police presence and officers ran into the park and shouted for a fire extinguisher.
He was carried away on a stretcher, his body very badly burned.
The New York Police Department is still on the scene and his motive is unclear.
As news of the man lighting himself on fire broke, Trump was in the courtroom.
Shortly after, he spoke to a Secret Service agent, and then left the courthouse, video shows.
We are unsure of his whereabouts now, and the former president ignored questions from the press.
