Tense video shows man scaling cables of Brooklyn Bridge
Nail-biting footage captures a person scaling the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge Thursday morning — snarling rush-hour visitors for about 90 minutes.
The man — described by police as roughly in his 20s — is proven descending the span as a number of ESU cops look on.
He started climbing the bridge round 6:30 a.m. and didn’t come down till about 8 a.m., police mentioned.
Awaiting EMTs positioned him on a stretcher, the footage reveals.
He was taken into custody, cops mentioned. It was not instantly clear whether or not he would face prices or a psychiatric analysis.
Whereas the climber was on the bridge, the suitable and middle lanes of the Brooklyn-bound span have been closed, according to an NYPD notification.
The roadways reopened as soon as the person was off the bridge, police confirmed.
