Via the Gothamist Newsmap, we noticed an "Unusual Incident" on 60th Street at Columbus Circle yesterday afternoon. Thanks to reader Ade in New York, we found out what it was: Someone, in Rollerblades no less, had climbed on top of the globe outside the Trump International.
The Post had some more details: The man, 57-year-old Richard Fredette "tossed handfuls of fliers promoting a rock concert" and then ate an orange. Fredette was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.
We can't remember how high off the ground the globe is - based on this picture, it seems like you'd need a boost to make it to the sphere.
