UPDATE: The NYPD has successfully grabbed the climber as he reached the 22nd floor and brought him inside the building.
UPDATE: The Trump campaign has responded to the daredevil's stunt.
"This man performed a ridiculous and dangerous stunt," Michael Cohen, executive Vice President in the Trump Organization, said in a statement. "There's damage to the building and he caused the unnecessary deployment of New York's finest to protect his safety and the safety of everyone in the building. He's caused the shutdown of traffic on Fifth Avenue. I'm 100 percent certain the NYPD had better things to do. If Mr. Trump were here he'd be thanking law enforcement for the job they're doing."
