A man from Ivory Coast doused himself with fuel and set himself on fire at Rome's Fiumicino airport after showing officials a deportation order.
The incident occurred in a customs police office in Terminal 3 of the airport. Police said the man poured a canister of fuel over himself and ignited it with a lighter.
The man was taken to hospital in a serious condition. A policeman who put out the flames sustained a burn to his arm.
The smoke caused alarm among travellers, and a small part of the airport was briefly closed off. No other injuries or disruption were reported.
