Jared Padalecki, photographed during a panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, 2016, is fed up with being asked if he was the man who climbed Trump Tower in New York City.

The 20-year-old man used four suction cup-like devices and a climbing harness to scale the outside of the 58-storey skyscraper on Fifth Avenue, which is the headquarters for Trump’s election campaign.
It turned into a game of cat and mouse but after three hours, police finally pulled him into a window they broke on the 21st floor. The authorities also emphasized that the climber did not wish to harm Trump. He had been undergoing a psychological evaluation at Bellevue Hospital, but it’s unclear if he remained there Thursday morning.
It was not known whether Rogata had a defense lawyer.
The Republican presidential candidate responded via Twitter late Wednesday, writing, “Great job today by the NYPD in protecting the people and saving the climber”.
While Jared Padalecki slaves away on the set of “Supernatural” in Vancouver, Canada, rumors are swirling about his involvement in a freakish stunt that unfolded in New York City on Wednesday.
“Steve” was removed from the building on a stretcher.
According to his Twitter, Trump was in Abingdon, Virginia, and not in the building at the time of the climb.
“I reached out. I took hold of his hand and I said, ‘Sir, would you come with me, ‘” said detective Christopher Williams, who made the grab.
Officials at Trump Tower said the climber had wasted police resources.
In a video that was uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday, a man discusses climbing the tower in a message addressed to Trump. However, the 19-year-old, whose identity still hasn’t been released, is now at Bellevue Hospital undergoing an evaluation, and hasn’t yet gotten his meeting.
“The reason I climbed your tower was to get your attention”.

“His sole intention was to meet with Mr. Trump”, NYPD Chief William Aubry said Wednesday. “I’m 100% certain the NYPD had better things to do”.
