An unidentified man is threatening to jump off the seventh floor of the atrium inside the Hart Senate Office Building. The Capitol Police have sealed off the area and are trying to talk the man off the railing, according to Senate sources.

Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) office is on the seventh floor of the Hart Building.

Update 5 - D.C. Metro Police have now inflated a cushion, which they have placed on the floor of the Hart atrium. It has been almost three hours since the man went over the railing (approximately 5:45 p.m.), and he is still there.
