He is in critical condition and was taken to the hospital by DC Fire and EMS with critical and life-threatening injuries.'
A spokesperson from the Secret Service told DailyMail.com, 'The U.S. Secret Service, Uniformed Division responded to the 3400 Block of International Drive, NW, DC regarding an individual that was experiencing a possible medical / mental health emergency.'

The Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal was called to the scene in reference to a suspicious vehicle that may be connected to the individual.
Video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed first responders on the scene outside of the embassy.
The investigation is ongoing.
A similar incident occurred in December when a pro-Palestine protestor set themselves ablaze outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.
The city's police chief, Darin Schierbaum, described the incident as an 'extreme act of political protest,' and said a Palestinian flag was recovered from the scene.
At least two people were injured in the act of self-immolation, including a security guard who attempted to intervene.

maybe we can set up a fundraiser to buy tickets to WashDC for anyone else wishing to do themselves up like that there
the more evil scum that dispatches itself to Jahannam, the better for the entire civilized world
Damn Tibetian Monk! Free Tibet!
But a Czech who died after setting himself on fire to protest the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia was widely respected.
