Early Wednesday afternoon, an as-yet-unidentified man began to climb the south side of Trump Tower building in New York City. Witnesses told ABC that the man was standing on the sub roof garden, which is accessible to the public, when he started to scale the building, using a suction cup contraption.
A spokesperson for the NYPD told Buzzfeed News that officers were currently attempting to apprehend the climber. You can watch a livestream of the man climbing Trump Tower here via ABC.
As one would expect, the internet is having a field day with the Trump Tower climber. See the social media reactions below.
