A man spent three hours scaling Trump Tower, the New York home and headquarters of the Republican nominee for US President, before police captured him through an open window Wednesday.

Live television footage showed uniformed New York police officers reaching out and grabbing the young man — 19-year-old Stephen Rogata, of Great Falls, Virginia — around three hours after he started his ascent using five suction cups.

Manhattan South police commander William Morris told reporters that the climber wanted a face-to-face meeting with Mr Trump, as explained in an anonymous YouTube video.
