Toronto police have blocked off an area around Trump Tower following reports of an "unstable antenna."
Officers were called to the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto, located at 325 Bay St. near Adelaide Street, at approximately 8 a.m.
Police were called to investigate after hotel staff reported seeing the antenna swaying in the wind. A city engineer was brought in to consult with police, and it was determined that there was a possible safety risk.
Toronto Police Sgt. Pat Alberga said officials do not think the antenna, or any part of it, will fall. However, police have closed the streets surrounding the building to traffic and pedestrians as a precaution.
Until the antenna is secured, Bay Street is closed from King Street to Richmond Street. Adelaide Street is also closed eastbound from York Street to Bay.
Road closures around Trump Tower due to unstable antenna on roof will be in effect until at least noon Tues Sep1 #TrumpUnstableAntenna ^sm
