两名极限攀爬者登上帝国大厦天线求婚后被警方逮捕Two Extreme Climbers Arrested After Scaling Empire State Building for Marriage Proposal

在2026年7月1日下午的攀爬活动中，两名身穿黑衣、戴着口罩的攀爬者在没有使用安全绳等保护装备的情况下，登上了帝国大厦102层以上的针状天线。新闻直升机拍摄的视频显示，两人在距离地面1454英尺（约443米）的狭窄边缘上保持平衡并接吻。随后，他们在这座地标性建筑的顶端展开了一条写有“当爱的力量战胜对权力的热爱，世界将走向和平”的横幅，该横幅在曼哈顿中城上空迎风飘扬。

During the climb on Wednesday afternoon, July 1, 2026, the two individuals, dressed in black and wearing masks, scaled the Empire State Building's needle antenna above the 102nd floor without any visible safety tethers. News helicopter footage captured the pair balancing on a narrow ledge and kissing atop the skyscraper's antenna, which rises 1,454 feet (443 meters) above midtown Manhattan. From their high-altitude perch, they unfurled a large banner that read, 'When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,' letting it wave in the wind.

在天线上停留了至少10分钟后，两人收起横幅并开始向下攀爬。他们沿着金属网格结构下行至一处较宽的平台上，其中一人在此处架设了摄影设备并单膝下跪。在两人再次接吻和拥抱后，另一人伸出左手端详戒指并用手机进行自拍。目前尚不清楚这两名攀爬者是如何避开安保，进入到帝国大厦102层公众开放区域之上的天线部分的。

After remaining at the top of the structure for at least 10 minutes, the climbers gathered the banner and began their descent along the metal latticework to a wider ledge. On this platform, one of the climbers set up photographic equipment and got down on one knee to present a ring. After kissing and hugging once more, the other climber held out her left hand to examine the ring while taking selfies. It remains unclear how the pair managed to bypass security to gain access to the antenna, which is located far above the publicly accessible areas of the 102-story building.

在两名攀爬者自行下爬并返回到安全区域后，纽约警方随即介入。根据警方在事后发布的执法记录仪视频显示，一名警员被派往现场，对这两名极限攀爬者进行了拦截和拘留。警方在现场将两人控制并带走，结束了这场在高空持续了至少10分钟的攀爬活动。

Following the couple's descent back to a safer platform, New York police intervened to take them into custody. Body camera footage released by the police department later in the day captured the moment an officer was dispatched to retrieve and apprehend the two daredevil climbers, bringing an end to their high-altitude stunt that had lasted for at least 10 minutes atop the skyscraper.

根据警方消息人士透露，这两名攀爬者目前面临着多项严重的刑事指控。两人均被指控犯有入室盗窃、危害公共安全、刑事毁坏、非法侵入、违反当地法律、持有盗窃工具、刑事干扰以及扰乱公共秩序罪。这些指控直接指向了他们未经授权强行进入地标建筑限制区域并进行无保护攀爬的行为。

According to police sources, both individuals are now facing a series of serious criminal charges for their unauthorized ascent. The charges filed against each climber include burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminal trespass, possession of burglar's tools, criminal tampering, violation of local law, and disorderly conduct, directly stemming from their intrusion into the restricted antenna area of the landmark.

此次在帝国大厦进行高空求婚并被捕的两名攀爬者，已被证实为俄罗斯籍公民伊万·库兹涅佐夫（Ivan Kuznetsov）和安吉拉·尼古拉（Angelina Nikolau）。其中，现年32岁的库兹涅佐夫在社交媒体平台上以“伊万·比尔库斯”（Ivan Beerkus）这一名字为公众所熟知；而现年33岁的尼古拉也是极限攀爬圈内的知名人物。根据相关消息来源透露，尽管两人原籍为俄罗斯，但他们目前均居住在美国新泽西州的东奥兰治（East Orange）。

The two individuals arrested for the high-altitude stunt atop the Empire State Building have been identified as Russian nationals Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, and Angelina Nikolau, 33. Kuznetsov is widely recognized on his social media platforms under the name Ivan Beerkus, while Nikolau is also a well-known figure in the extreme climbing community. According to sources, although both climbers are originally from Russia, they currently reside in East Orange, New Jersey.
