BRONX - A Bronx man was set on fire during an arguement 14 hours before a man set himself ablaze in front of the Trump trial, cops said. 


At around 11:15 pm on April 18, a 39-year-old man got into an argument with another man in front of 320 East 159th Street. As the fight turned physical, cops said, the aggressor threw robbing alcohol on the 39-year-old and then set him on fire. 



The victim suffered burns to his head and face. 


Luckily for the victim the attack took place around the corner from an EMS station.



Paramedics rushed the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem where he was treated for his burns and is listed in stable condition. 


Cops said two other men were treated for minor burns when they tried to put the flames out on the victim. 


Investigators said the victim knew his attacker. He is believed to be 45 years old but no further description has been given. 


Bizarrely the Bronx burn incident comes 14 hours before today’s grizzly incident at the federal courthouse in which former President Donald Trump is on trial. 





At around 1:30 pm, 37-year-old Max Azzarello walked into Collect Pond Park and doused himself with a liquid and set himself on fire. Court officers and cops used coats and fire extinguishers to put out the fire.
