Two people climb the Empire State Building’s antenna while holding a banner related to an engagement, then are arrested, according to reporting. The pair, identified as Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, are described as wearing dark clothing as they scale the structure’s antenna, which is about 1,454 feet above New York City. During the climb, they carry a sign with the message “when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,” and they are described as staging a proposal/Instagram-style stunt while atop the landmark. After the incident, they are taken into custody by police. The New York Post frames the action as a protest or public stunt intended for attention, but the core details reported across the account focus on the ascent, the banner message, the height of the antenna, and the subsequent arrest. The reports do not indicate that anyone other than the pair is injured or that any disruption beyond the climb occurs.
