The man reached the 21st story of the 58-story tower on Fifth Avenue which is headquarters for the election campaign of Donald Trump, the US Republican presidential nominee. In a video that was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, the man discussed climbing the tower in a message addressed to Trump. "The reason I climbed your tower was to get your attention," he said in the video and then encouraged people to vote for Trump. He referred to himself as an "independent researcher" seeking a private audience with Trump to discuss an unspecified important matter. The New York City Police Department said on Twitter that its special operations division and emergency crews had been sent to the building.
