Naked man climbs platform in Times Square, screams for Donald Trump

    He put on a one-hour show of nudity and screaming.

    A naked man screaming about Donald Trump climbed to the top of Times Square’s TKTS booth where he remained for an hour before jumping off and leaving the scene on a stretcher.

    On Thursday morning, the naked man was initially spotted on 47th Street near Rockefeller Center before he bolted toward Times Square and climbed to the top of an exterior staircase at the TKTS at Seventh Avenue, beginning a one-hour show of nudity, shouting and questions for Donald Trump, the New York Post reported.

    "Donald Trump, where are you?" the man yelled multiple times, according to the New York Daily News. A crowd of people, which included police, watched his naked tirade.

    The man blew kisses to the crowd, danced and taunted officers by grabbing his privates, the Post elaborated. Authorities inflated an airbag in case the man jumped from his platform 16 feet above the ground, which he did at approximately 9:10 a.m.

    He missed the air bag, and authorities strapped him to a stretcher as the incident came to an end, according to the Daily News.

    His condition after the fall was unknown, the Post added.

    New York to become 'testing ground' in minimum wage debate

    New York to become 'testing ground' in minimum wage debate

    When New York and California became the first states to lift the minimum hourly wage towards $15 earlier this year, New York state adopted a two-speed system that makes it a perfect testing ground for both advocates and opponents of government mandated pay hikes. While California set a state-wide schedule of reaching the $15 level by 2022, New York lawmakers struck an 11th hour compromise that created different timetables for New York City and neighboring counties and the "upstate" regions where incomes are lower and labor markets less robust.

    This Cambridge cafe has no name – yet

    What comes first, the name or the restaurant? Earlier this month, an unnamed cafe opened in East Cambridge in the space once occupied by Cafe Kiraz, a popular neighborhood spot that shuttered last spring. Following Twitter leads, Metro decided to drop by one afternoon about a week later to see if they had decided what to call themselves. Turns out, they hadn't. The awning above the storefront was still blank, the only signage an easel chalkboard with menu items standing near the door. Inside,...
