A naked man taunted police officers Thursday morning after climbing a ledge in New York City’s Times Square, where he proceeded to dance, jump and question the whereabouts of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump, where are you?” the man reportedly screamed before jumping from the roof of a tickets booth in the middle of Times Square. The man was reportedly rushed by paramedics to a nearby hospital after missing an airbag set up during his standoff with police.
The entire incident was streamed live on Periscope by onlookers and tourists visiting the metropolitan attraction.

Individuals present told the Huffington Post that the man had spent nearly 90 minutes running naked across the rooftop while repeatedly screaming out for Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. The man, whose identity has yet to be confirmed by authorities, was first spotted around 7:30 a.m. ET.
“An Australian family said, ‘We came for sightseeing — but how are we going to top this?'” a man who watched the situation unfold from a nearby breakfast spot told the New York Daily News.
The man reportedly fought with police even after he had jumped from the rooftop and was being wrestled to a stretcher by paramedics.
