NYPD: Man Who Set Himself on Fire Outside Trump Courthouse is Alive and in Critical Condition

‘He pulls out a canister, and pours some kind of liquid on themselves, a liquid we believe is an accelerant, and he lights himself on fire’

EXCERPT:

KAVANAGH: “Thank you. As the Chief mentioned, the victim is in critical condition but is alive and intubated at Cornell Burn Center. At this time, there were four — three NYPD officers and one court officer, so four officers who had minor injuries from their exposure to the fire. They are all fine, they are stable and they are green tags, which is minor at this time. We were on scene as the chief mentioned, EMS did treat and transport the patient and we do have our fire marshals here helping with the investigation at this time.”
