NEW YORK (AP) - The Associated Press today carried a story with pictures of a man climbing on the webs of the Brooklyn Bridge Tuesday this week, tying up traffic for hours before police finally convinced him to come down.
Construction worker Jenol Sealy, 23, was taken to Kings County Hospital for evaluation. He was not charged at the scene. Sealy began about 9 a.m. Police closed the bridge soon after. The event was covered live on television, lasting about 2 hours, including Sealy's request for a beer and cigarette. |
