A MAN HAS attempted scaling Trump Tower in New York using suction cups and prompting a police response outside the Manhattan headquarters of the Republican nominee for president.
“We are sending our units there to try to find out what’s going on,” a New York police spokesman told AFP.
Television footage broadcast by ABC News showed the shaggy-haired man dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, apparently using suction cups to mount his ascent.
A video clip and pictures posted on Twitter showed him climbing up the outside face of the tower as uniformed officers looked on.
Police said they had no immediate information about the person’s identity or his motive for scaling the glass skyscraper. They were alerted by the incident at around 3:40 pm (8.40pm here), the spokesman said.
New York billionaire and real estate developer Donald Trump lives in a marble triplex at the top of the 68-storey building, which is also the headquarters of his Trump Organization and election campaign.
The Republican nominee is outside the city today, holding a rally in Virginia with another event planned later in Florida.

Backstreet boys and heavy metal tapes in the same collection. Unbelievable.
What an unbelievable, incredible story.
Literally.
It’s totally exaggerated.
inspirational example of what hard work and perseverance can do. ..even under difficult circumstances
It’s rubbish…..he’s an educated Indian……..from a middle class family…..
A lot of successful people tend to underestimate the role luck has to play. Without the right timing and luck, most ideas for businesses usually fail.
Slumdog Billionaire
That article is complete rubbish….his father was an engineer, his mother went to college……age grew up in a slum in Indian…..you obviously don’t know India, educated Indians or anything about the cast system or slums in Indian…….what Bol ix
‘Runaway living in a slum’. It’s not misleading.
who would take a picture of their computer right before they run away from home?
I heard about this Indian guy…
Not clear has to how he made his billions.
It’s all there.
No it isn’t. Selling advertising to destitute Indian women !??
That was his original IPO. He had no money left from that, the article states. Then came up with an idea for mobile augmented reality advertising, called it Blipper and based on the latest round of funding the co. is now worth over 1bn. Doesn’t make him a billionaire though unless he can sell the whole thing.
he hasn’t “made his billions”. it doesn’t even say that. I’m guessing you read some of the story and commented despite the fact it says clearly that he has a startup that is now valued at $1.5bn. an excellent achievement whatever way you look at it.
Just downloaded the app. Its Rubbish!
have your say
