BREAKING: Police cruiser intentionally set on fire outside Supreme Court – [VIDEO]

Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram reports that a parked police cruiser was intentionally set on fire today outside of the Supreme Court and across from the Capitol:

“Fox is told a police cruiser was set on fire intentionally by Supreme Court across from the Capitol. Fox is told the cruiser, either belonging to US Capitol Police or the Supreme Court Police was parked and was set on fire.”

 
Pergram notes that one person is in custody and the suspect reportedly burned themselves as they were setting the fire with gasoline:

“Fox is told the police car intentionally set on fire is on Maryland Ave., NE just outside the Supreme Court. Fox is told 1 person in custody. Minor injuries. No other injuries to officers reported. Fox is told the suspect was seen setting the cruiser on fire.”

 
“Am told the suspect appears to have burned himself when setting the police cruiser on fire, outside the Supreme Court, near the Capitol,
with gasoline or some other flammable liquid. The cruiser was parked. Unclear if it’s USCP or SCOTUS police.”

I found a video that Twitter user Taylor Jackson recorded of the cruiser after it as already on fire. She said “so we just witnessed a car explode outside the Supreme Court.”:
