NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a naked man shouting about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump jumped off the back of a large grandstand in Times Square above the booth where discounted Broadway tickets are sold.

Police say the man was conscious after the jump of about 16 feet off the TKTS booth. They say the man sustained a cut on his elbow and was in stable condition when taken to a hospital. Officials say he’ll undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Police say officers were trying to talk the man down from the iconic red stairs over the ticket booth when he jumped Thursday at about 8 a.m.

The man fell to the ground, missing an emergency air bag set up by first responders.

The man had been shouting “Donald Trump where are you?”

Police say the man had earlier been spotted a few blocks away.

    So any naked bozo who says the magic word “Trump” can make the national news?

    This kind of thing is just another day where I live - unless it’s, say, Matthew McConaughey.

    Corey, it didn’t have to end like this.

  3. It seems the police had to engage in quite a few verbal acrobatics to avoid letting the public know IT WAS DONALD TRUMP THAT DID THE JUMPING!!!
    It’s not gonna work, Donnie, you’re still the nominee. Next time bring a gun, like you promised, then we’ll revisit the subject.

  4. Would this be news if he had called out for Hillary Clinton? What about Norm McDonald?
