NEW YORK (AP) — A man is trying to scale the all-glass face of Trump Tower in New York City using suction cups.

A video recorded by a bystander and streamed online Wednesday shows police observing the man from an outdoor terrace.

A police spokeswoman says officers responded to Donald Trump’s namesake skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan but had no further information.

The 58-story building is headquarters to the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign. He also lives there.

A campaign spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Parts of the building, including the terraces, are open to the public during the day.

    Probably just another member of Trump’s entourage who can’t work an elevator.

    A Trump spokesperson just said 1) It’s a stunt that has nothing to do with the election or politics at all 2) The local police who have responded are costing the tax payers “millions of dollars already” - obviously his understanding of numbers and sense of hypocrisy are both nonfunctional today.
