A Norwegian man is in hospital with serious injuries after setting himself on fire yesterday. The incident took place outside the Oslo courthouse where Anders Behring Breivik is standing trial for mass murder and terrorism.

Police say the man was seen pouring liquid over himself before igniting the liquid and trying to gain access to the court building. He was stopped by security officials when he reached the temporary security tent set up to scan everyone entering the building during the 10-week trial.

A N5FW video of the incident can be seen below. In it the man is seen running towards the tent with his black hat on fire, shouting after dousing himself with liquid from a bottle. He is wrestled to the ground by armed security officers who stamp out the flames. He can be heard crying throughout and at about 0:21 he asks the security forces to shoot him.

If this is something you suspect will upset you, then consider this your warning.
