Man climbs Trump Tower to get Trump's attention

By My City Paper  |  Published 08/10/2016

A Virginia man, by the name of Stephen Rogata, used four large suction cups scaled Trump Tower in Midtown Wednesday afternoon. The NYPD tried several times to reach the man by breaking a window two floors over him. Police also used a scaffolding to try to corner the climber.

The man Steve has said to police he wanted to get Donald Trump's attention which is why he was climbing the building.

The NYPD were able to corner the individual and pull him into the building through and open window safely placing the male into custody.

The video below seems to have been posted by the climber yesterday under the name Leven Thumps on YouTube.
