A couple who climbed the Empire State Building’s antenna to stage a marriage proposal is arrested, according to multiple reports. The pair—Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32—are described as climbing to about 1,450 feet for an engagement stunt. Accounts say the proposal was carried out at the top and that the couple shared details of the experience online. Outlets report that both people are taken into custody and face a range of charges related to scaling the building without authorization. One report adds that the couple is later released, with their lawyer describing the act as a “message of love.”
The reports collectively characterize the incident as part of a social-media-driven stunt, sometimes likened to “daredevil” or “skywalkers” activity. No sources provided specific outcomes of the legal process or details about injuries. The incident remains focused on the unauthorized climb, the engagement proposal at the antenna, and the subsequent arrest and legal action.
