Man who set himself on fire outside Trump trial ID'd as Max Azzarello | LiveNOW from FOX

A man set himself on fire outside of Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York City. Officials identified the man as 37-year-old Max Azzarello.

Police said Azzarello traveled from St. Augustine, Florida and arrived in New York last week. His family had been unaware he had traveled to New York, according to officials. Police said Azzarello is in a “very critical condition," and is being treated at the Cornell Medicine Burn Center.

Video from FOX 5 NY shows the man engulfed in flames outside of the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse around 1:30 p.m.

A person could be clearly seen lying on the ground on fire. People then rushed over with a fire extinguisher and worked to bat the flames away. The person was then taken away on a stretcher, and police confirmed that the man is in critical condition at a nearby hospital. People who witnessed the incident were visibly distressed.
