Police did not immediately confirm that the incident was a political protest.
The elderly man poured an inflammable substance over himself and then set himself alight, the wiadomosci.onet.pl website reported, citing police.
He was taken to hospital in a serious condition, the website said, adding that “everything indicates that he did what he did for political reasons”.
