A New York City conman accused of swindling investors out of more than $100,000 was caught on video sitting on the ledge of a skyscraper window as the FBI raided his apartment.

The FBI was executing a search warrant Wednesday around 8:40 a.m. at an apartment building on West 56th Street when the perpetrator, whom sources identified to Fox News Digital as 35-year-old conman Ian Mitchell, broke a window from inside the apartment and attempted to climb out.

Todd Spodek, the attorney who represented Mitchell in his 2019 grand larceny case, said his former client hasn't contacted him recently. 

"It's unfortunate to see him in these circumstances, and I'd urge him to cooperate," Spodek told Fox News Digital.

Mitchell threatened to jump from the apartment in the 72-story building — which is located just blocks away from Central Park — and the NYPD's emergency unit attempted to establish a dialogue with him. He was not in possession of any weapons at the time, according to authorities.

Micthell was initially arrested for grand larceny in 2017 and posted $100,000 bond. He later pleaded guilty to his crimes.

The 35-year-old, who went by Ian Matalon in Manhattan circles, led New York's elite to believe he was the son of a wealthy Jamaican family. 

He would meet investors with his model girlfriend and brag about fictitious multi-million-dollar purchases.

Prosecutors say he swindled multiple people into investing a total of more than $100,000 for his business proposals, including a hotel bar.

A Portland, Oregon, community is on edge after a homeless man attacked a resident and a growing homeless encampment encroaches on the neighborhood

"It’s terrifying," Gwen Ingram, a resident living near Portland’s Southeast 111th Avenue and Powell Boulevard, told Fox 12 Oregon of the encampment. 

"People scream at you, yell at you, threaten you."

Ingram told the outlet that the area was a peaceful "Leave it to Beaver"-style neighborhood until the first homeless resident showed up in a camper and the population grew so large that homeless individuals are now allegedly sleeping on private property, stealing things and breaking into homes.

"We never had any issues until the tents started moving in," Ingram's neighbor, Deena Closson, told the outlet, while explaining that she is scared to leave her home to get her mail.

The residents said that police have not been much help bringing a resolution to the situation.

"We’d call and they’d ask, ‘Do you want us to come?’" Ingram claimed. "We’re like, ‘Yes, we want you come to come out!’ That’s a stupid question."

Fellow resident Jovenn Pacheco told the outlet that he often sees homeless people overdosing on the street.

"The fire department came and literally brought this man back to life while I was holding my 6-month-old son in the window," Pacheco explained. "I said, 'That’s it.' So, I called the police. They answer and say drugs are decriminalized and can’t do anything."

"I live in a city where I don't feel safe," he added.

Clossen claimed one night she was awoken by a man she didn’t know standing over her bed. In a panic, she sprayed the intruder with bug spray and threw a hammer at him until he fled out the front door. 

Clossen told the outlet that she will likely be "leaving the home that I love."

Ingram said the situation made her feel "absolutely helpless."

"It’s a dark tunnel. No light. Absolutely helpless," Ingram said.

The residents all expressed sympathy for the plight of homeless people but said they need relief from the city to ensure their safety.

"When is help coming?" Ingram wondered.

The Portland Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Last month, a family in southeast Portland said that homeless squatters have been terrifying them by lighting fires that sometimes spread to their property and even caused propane tanks to ignite.

"I don’t know how many times I’ve talked to police, because people are screaming, or someone is overdosing," Jacob Adams told Fox 12 Oregon. "It’s just countless, countless first responders' calls. We all have to love our neighbor no matter who they are. But at the point when they start setting your place on fire it becomes a little more difficult."

Armand Martens, an 83-year-old Vietnam veteran who also lives next to the property, told Fox 12 Oregon that he "felt safer when I was walking around in downtown Saigon when I was in Vietnam than I do here in Portland."
