The New York Police Department (NYPD) told the BBC that two individuals had been taken into custody.

They face charges including burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, trespass and disorderly conduct, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS.

A spokesperson for the building said the “unauthorized incident” had posed no danger to tenants, visitors, or guests on the observation deck just below the spire.

”It is to be emphasized that the Empire State Building Observation Deck, atop the World’s Most Famous Building in the center of New York City, does offer a practical way for the most memorable marriage proposals,” the spokesperson’s statement added.

Preliminary information indicates the pair got in through a hatch on the 103rd floor of the building, used for water tower maintenance, law enforcement sources told CBS.

While that level is not open to the public, the floor below it is. It remains unclear how they got from the 102nd to the 103rd floor.
