In a dramatic moment on Wednesday evening, around 6:34 p.m. ET, a young man who had been climbing the Trump Tower in New York was pulled into the building by police.

After nearly two hours, police grabbed the climber and clipped a rope to him to help ensure they could pull him in safely as he passed a window around the 24th floor of the building.

Trump's office is reportedly on the 26th floor of the building, but the GOP candidate was not inside on Wednesday as he was out on the campaign trail.
