Times Square was more chaotic than usual during rush-hour on Thursday morning as police attempted to deal with a naked man who climbed to a ledge at the back of the red staircase in Duffy Square and started screaming out obscenities and dancing.

Witnesses say police cleared the area around the TKTS booth at Seventh Avenue around 8am as they calmly tried to deal with the man for about an hour.

The strange streaker has since been identified as 21-year-old fashion model and Columbia University student Krit McClean.

McClean was said to be screaming nonsensically, mostly about Donald Trump, and at one point yelled: 'Donald Trump where are you, Donald Trump where the f*** are you?!'
