A man was reportedly on fire outside of the Manhattan courthouse where former United States President Donald Trump is standing trial on criminal charges for falsifying business records.

CNN reported the man was covered in flames outside of the courthouse. Inside, the fourth day of the Trump trial was unfolding, with jury selection concluding.

The felony charges against Trump are related to hush money payments he allegedly made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

The incident occurred at a park across the street from the courthouse, with CNN reporting that accelerant could be smelled at the scene.

Emergency crews quickly doused the flames, and the man was carried away on the stretcher.

This is a developing story.
