Yesterday, a climber attempted to ascend the Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan before a group police finally shut down the daring feat. The man, who has yet to be fully identified, is a 20 year-old Virginia resident who says his motive was simply to meet the man who holds an office on the top floor.
Great job today by the NYPD in protecting the people and saving the climber.

Members of the NYPD were eventually able to coax the man inside the building, where he was promptly arrested. People who have scaled buildings like this before have faced charges that include reckless endangerment and trespassing.
