Horrified witnesses desperately called for help as self-described “investigative researcher” Max Azzarello lit himself on fire in a park outside the Manhattan courthouse where President Donald Trump’s hush money trial is taking place, shocking footage shows.
The chilling video shows one man off-camera beginning his plea for police right before Azzarello ignited himself into a ball of flames just as jury selection concluded in Trump’s historic case.
“Police, police, there’s a guy lighting himself on fire,” 25-year-old William Schoeffler screamed as Azzarello doused himself with an accelerant.
“He’s lighting himself on fire, hello.”
The shocked onlooker’s calls for help became more urgent as flames began to quickly erupt, according to the video obtained by The Post.
“Police! Police! Fire! Holy sh-t, holy sh-t,” Schoeffler screamed as other witnesses also began screaming.
ABC News staffers are blaming a dustup over provocative Instagram photos posted by “Good Morning America 3” co-host DeMarco Morgan on a wave of layoffs last year — with casualties including executives whose duties included monitoring the social media accounts of the network’s on-air talent, The Post has learned.
