Anyone who has been to New York since November 8 knows that the security around Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan has been tight.
Now that the President-elect lives there, the building is a much bigger worry to the US authorities, and New York City is spending a million dollars a day to protect it.
Video has emerged of shoppers fleeing Trump Tower this evening in what appears to be an evacuation of the skyscraper which is home to many shops and restaurants.

Reports have also emerged that the New York Police Department has said the evacuation was sparked by a suspicious package.
Since election night, the site has been the location of many major protests, as well as where Trump has held most of his meetings with his cabinet picks.
