New York, New York - Two people were arrested on Wednesday after they climbed up an antenna on the top of the Empire State Building in New York – and possibly got engaged at the same time.

The pair, wearing black with their faces covered, unfurled a banner on top of the 1,454-foot landmark that read "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."

"Two individuals were taken into custody without incident. There are no injuries reported. Charges are pending, and the investigation is still ongoing," a New York police spokesman told AFP.

The man went down on one knee and appeared to propose to the woman, before they kissed and embraced.

ABC7 identified the pair as Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, a Russian daredevil couple with a penchant for climbing skyscrapers without safety ropes or harnesses.

The two were previously featured in the Netflix documentary Skywalkers: A Love Story, which debuted on the platform in 2024.

The Empire State Building has an observation deck open to the public that offers stunning views of New York, but access to higher points is forbidden.

Still, some people have tried to scale the building in the past. It was not immediately clear how the pair reached the antenna.
