“CPD, SWAT and CFD personnel responded to a call of an unknown man threatening suicide and hanging from a rope on the hotel's 16th floor balcony,” Chicago police said in a statement.

Police officers and firefighters arrived at the scene. The officers were also on the terrace above the man, apparently urging him to climb up.

Because of the incident, police blocked traffic around Trump Tower.

The main culprit of the incident was 31-year-old Edil Aliyev (although he signs his profile on social networks as Eddil Eliev). He comes from Balykchy, writes KaktusMedia.

"Hi all. I am a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and I want to talk to Mr. Trump before the election. I don't want to die. If someone tries to pull the rope, I will jump off and die,” the Kyrgyzstani said in the video.

Chicago was not there at the time of the Trump incident. On Sunday, October 18, the president attended a church service in Las Vegas, NV, in the morning, and spoke at a rally in Carson City, NV in the afternoon.

Peaceful resolution

13 hours later, Chicago police said the situation was "peacefully resolved," writes Chicago Tribune.

“The situation has been resolved through peaceful negotiations,” police spokesman Tom Ahern tweeted. — The suspect is in custody. No injuries."

According to him, this person did not live in the building, and it is unclear how he got inside. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Commander Patty Casey, who heads the crime investigation department, said a Russian translator had been called into the building and the building staff also helped negotiate with the perpetrator of the incident.

“It really was a team effort. What could have turned into a tragedy ended up being a situation that was resolved without incident. Today, the Chicago Police Department and their partners literally saved this young man's life,” she said.

The suspect was taken to the hospital for a mental health assessment. According to the results of the examination, this person will be charged.

Some of the man's demands were met.

“We agreed on a few concessions that we thought were safe,” the police said, “but no one was going to organize a meeting with the president.”

The $ 98 million, 847-story Trump Tower, which serves as a condominium and hotel, is 1390 feet (423,6 m) high. Its construction was completed in 2009.
