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.
