Emergency crews rushed the person away on a stretcher after the fire was extinguished. The incident happened inside Collect Pond Park near the courthouse located in Lower Manhattan.

@GottaLaff I was watching MSNBC on delay and it came up just as I was reading your post. Yasmin is going to need some trauma therapy but she kept it together on camera.

CNN doesn’t have much to add yet. The flyers the man threw in the air were collected as evidence.

@RoLarenRED57 @GottaLaff @opethminded CNN: "Investigators are now fanning out to collect the flyers the unknown man threw into the air, another senior law enforcement official. A CNN team on the ground observed one of the flyers. It said "NYU is a mob front" and had various allegations of wrongdoings against the school"

    So the orange gobs supporters are now cutting out the middleman (R party) and killing themselves directly?

    @GottaLaff NFL. Did you see Yasmin Vossoughian reporting live outside the courtroom when this happened? She was really shocked. She said the guy was about 50 feet from her.

    “We have members of security details. NYPD is rushing to the scene. They are trying to come now ... officers are on the scene with fire extinguishers right now. They are trying to put this man out. They’re climbing over barricades to try to separate the public and put out the flame on this man. He has lit himself out in fire in front of the courthouse right now.””

    @GottaLaff Pro-Palestine protester, no? Isn't that at least as important as /where/ he chose to do it?

    @GottaLaff The person apparently had been sharing a manifesto they wrote warning of an existing conspiracy to install a fascist dictatorship.

    I've always suspected the MAGA crowd harbors a notably higher percentage of mentally ill people.
