When he was taken into custody, we're told he claimed to own Trump Tower and that he was a U.S. Senator there to see Ivanka.
Ivanka was not at Trump Tower at the time.
52-year-old Benitez was turned over to NYPD and taken to Cornell Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation. He was booked for criminal possession of a weapon.
