A Russian couple have been arrested after scaling the Empire State Building in New York. Upon reaching the top, the couple unfurled a banner with a powerful message before the man appeared to pull out a ring and proposed to the woman while the police officers and news helicopters watched in disbelief.
The pair have since been identified as Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, a Russian couple who have scaled multiple skyscrapers around the world together. Both were dressed in black complete with black masks covering their face as they scaled the iconic NYC building. When they reached the top they unfurled a large banner that read, “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
