MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (THECOUNT) — A raccoon spotted in downtown St. Paul Tuesday morning scaled a building and is now 20 stories up, reports minnesota.cbslocal.
The critter was first spotted at the Town Square building, huddled in a nook above the sidewalk.
Tim Nelson @timnelson_mpr: “This poor raccoon apparently got itself stranded on a ledge of the Town Square office building in downtown St. Paul, likely on an errant mission to raid pigeon nests on the skyway over 7th Street. It’s been there for two days now, without food or water. 8:04 AM – Jun 12, 2018 · St Paul, MN. @mprnews” source
When building workers attempted to nab the raccoon from the ledge, it scurried over to UBS Plaza. That’s when it started climbing.
