A Chicago man is in custody and undergoing medical treatment after a harrowing, 13-hour standoff with Chicago police as he dangled from the 16th story balcony of Chicago’s Trump Tower.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports the standoff, which began around 5:30 Sunday evening, “resolved peacefully” early Monday morning, and the man was pulled back up to the balcony, back on to a dining patio, and loaded into an ambulance. He was taken to a nearby hospital in good condition with no injuries, according to a Chicago Police spokesperson who kept the public apprised of the incident using social media.
