The blaze began on the 47th floor of the busy hotel on Central Park in New York City, ABC7 reported.

Officials say the fire was put out at around 5.20am.

One witness Harold Mindel said on Facebook: “Waking up at 4.40am with the sounds of many fire trucks heading to Trump International Hotel and Condo at Columbus Circle and Central Park West.”
