At least he had the courtesy to wear a mask.<\/p>\n

A giant raccoon caused a stir in downtown Manhattan Monday when it scaled a building and was rescued by a group of witnesses holding up a tarp.<\/p>\n

The critter was spotted shortly before 10 a.m. on a roughly 20-foot high ledge of a building on Hudson Street near Franklin Street in Tribeca, police and a witness said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the raccoon was stuck, but a group of people took matters into their own hands to get the animal down.<\/p>\n

Video posted to Twitter<\/a> shows a man wedged high up between two building columns using a plastic bin to wrestle the creature off the ledge.<\/p>\n

The raccoon falls directly onto the elevated green tarp, but nonetheless, app<\/a>ears to still slam onto the sidewalk, according to the video, which was shot by Instagram user nick.name6.<\/p>\n

Bystanders can be heard yelling during the animal\u2019s descent.<\/p>\n

Upon landing, the raccoon briefly seeks shelter under a coffee cart before scurrying into the street.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear where the animal ended up or what condition it was in after its plunge.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
