Man Sets Himself on Fire Inside Google's NYC Office
The man was hospitalized in stable condition as investigators found no political leaflets and said the fire may have started in his backpack.
- On Friday, a 63-year-old man set himself on fire inside the lobby of a Lower Manhattan office building at 315 Hudson Street that houses Google workspace, authorities said.
- Surveillance footage shows the man entering the building around 2 p.m., leaving, and returning about an hour later when flames erupted just before 3 p.m.
- Multiple witnesses called 911 as security personnel extinguished the flames; medics rushed the victim to Weill Cornell Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
- The NYPD established a crime scene outside the building, recovering a collapsible baton from a singed backpack but finding no political literature suggesting a protest motive.
- Located at 315 Hudson Street, the building also contains the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau and sits within Google's Hudson Square campus, where the tech giant occupies more than 400,000 square feet.
