A man is trying to climb Trump Tower using suction cups

No, this isn't Mission Impossible - a man equipped with suction cups is attempting to scale the Trump Tower in Manhattan.

The man, who has not been identified, was first spotted around 4 p.m. on Wednesday at the Trump Tower on 56th street, reports CBS.

Live footage from the scene shows a man with long hair wearing shorts, a green t-shirt, and a backpack perched on the side of the building. Police officers appear to be waiting for the man a few floors above him.
