Two people were arrested after they climbed the New York City Empire State Building on Wednesday and unfurled a large banner urging world peace, and the stunt apparently turned into a “marriage proposal”.
The pair, dressed in black outfits, climbed to the top of the skyscraper’s antenna spire, where the red light was glowing, which is around 1,454 feet above the sidewalk of midtown Manhattan, Reuters reported.

The black coloured banner with all capital white letters appeared to read: “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
