New York City police officers arrested two individuals after they climbed the exterior spire of the Empire State Building to unfurl a large demonstration banner from the skyscraper’s antenna structure.
Emergency service units responded to the Manhattan landmark on Tuesday morning, securing the perimeter and taking both climbers into custody without incident once they descended to lower observation levels.
Law enforcement authorities filed criminal trespass and reckless endangerment charges against the pair while property management inspected the antenna for structural integrity.
