Man, identified as A.C.T.P., doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire in front of Istanbul's iconic Galata Tower. Witnesses initially mistook the act for a performance due to the dramatic setting, but chaos ensued as flames engulfed him. Nearby cafe staff extinguished the fire using a fire extinguisher, and the man was transported to the hospital with severe burns.
