A shocking and tragic Incident occurred near a Lower Manhattan Courthouse this afternoon as a man set himself on fire in front of horrified onlookers. The incident took place at approximately 1:35 p.m. in Collect Pond Park, just across the street from where jurors were being chosen for a trial involving former President Donald Trump.

According to witnesses, the man had been seen lingering outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse earlier in the week. As the man doused himself with accelerant and set himself ablaze, screams filled the air and bystanders ran for safety.

Before setting himself on fire, the man threw leaflets with anti-government conspiracy theories, adding a disturbing element to the already shocking event. Despite the quick response of bystanders who rushed to help put out the flames, the intense heat made it difficult to extinguish the fire.

The incident has left many in the area shaken and concerned for the well-being of the man involved. While the motive behind the self-immolation is still unclear, the proximity to the courthouse where the Trump trial proceedings are taking place has raised speculation about a possible connection.

Authorities are currently investigating the incident and providing support to those who witnessed the traumatic event. As more details emerge, the community is left grappling with the aftermath of a distressing and unsettling incident that took place in broad daylight near a bustling courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
