The man who set himself on fire outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump’s hushmoney trial is happening has been identified.

NYPD say the man has been identified as Maxwell Azzarello, from St Augustine, Florida.

They say Azzarello arrived in New York a few days ago, and the pamphlets he threw before the incident were "conspiracy based".

He is alive, but in a critical condition.

Police believe Azzarello was motivated by conspiracies, and was not targeting any people or any particular groups.
