Man Climbs New York Times Searching For Paper


A man tried to scale the New York Times building Saturday morning, but only made it to the fifth floor of the 52-story edifice before he was caught, police said.

Police received a 911 call at 7:00am local time reporting that the man was climbing the Manhattan building. Authorities had him in custody just five minutes later.

On the ground, the unidentified man said he climbed the building because he was looking for a copy of the newspaper.

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, authorities said. He was not injured.

Three men climbed the building’s ladder-like facade in separate incidents in 2008. Two made it to the roof, and one got to the 11th floor.
