In a video posted online, people can be seen crowding outside the tower as police cars speed past.

Samantha Mack who recorded the footage said guests and staff members were taken outside through the front and back doors, reports the Mirror.

‘There's some girls with their faces in their hands, it looks like they're crying,’ she comments.

Taking to Twitter, she said: 'I was walking home from the gym on Bute Street. Down the alley I heard yelling and saw hundreds of people in party clothes panicking, some crying, some on their phones.

'At first I assumed it was a fight but then quickly recognized that it was an evacuation.

'Curiosity got the best of me so I walked on the far side of the street across from the entrance to Trump Tower and counted 16 police cars both marked and unmarked. More people were spilling out the main doors to the building.'

She added: 'Small groups of people running from the scene, mostly scared groups of girls. As I got to the end of the block I sparked a conversation with four girls who were hugging each other, visibly upset.

'They told me, armed officers with “long guns” rushed in to the party and told everyone to leave.

'They told everyone to get out of the pool, but some people disregarded the police and kept jumping in, until the police used “forceful language.”'

Another social media user posted: ‘There’s something weird happening at Trump Tower Vancouver with several police cars and people running on the sidewalk.’

It is not clear why the police were at the hotel.
