Carlo Allegri/ReutersAt least 16 people required medical assistance Wednesday after a man set papers on fire in a hallway outside the New York City courtroom where Donald Trump’s civil business fraud trial has been taking place for weeks, forcing the building to evacuate.
New York State Courts confirmed in a statement to The Daily Beast that preliminary information indicated an individual set the papers alight on the fourth floor of the New York County Courthouse and then subsequently attempted to douse them with a fire extinguisher.
It is unclear if the man’s actions were deliberate. He was not identified by New York State Courts but the Associated Press reports the individual is a man.
