NEW YORK — Twitter users posted photos and videos of a man who started scaling Trump Tower in Manhattan Wednesday afternoon.
Police were on the scene, located on East 56th Street in midtown, as of 4:45 ET.
Witnesses say he appears to be using suction cups to climb the side of the building, according to WPIX.
The daredevil drew a massive police response, a crowd of officers can be seen below him, trying to talk the man into coming down.
It’s not the first time a daredevil has taken to climbing a skyscraper in New York City. In 1977, George Willig scaled 2 World Trade Center, one of the 110-story Twin Towers.
As recently as 2008, the New York Times building was scaled by three different men over a few days in June 2008.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates…
