Couple climbs Empire State Building, gets engaged, and is arrested
A Russian couple climbed the top of the Empire State Building, unfurled a banner, got engaged, and were subsequently arrested.
A couple has been taken into custody after climbing to the very top of New York City's Empire State Building and getting engaged. Russian nationals Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, unfurled a large banner at the tip of the skyscraper's needle that read: "When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace." Beerkus then got down on one knee and proposed to Nikolau, presenting a ring. They kissed before descending. The couple was arrested shortly after coming down. No further details on charges have been released by authorities. This is not the first time the couple has been involved in such a stunt, but it is the first to result in an arrest.
