Daredevil, 20, busted for climbing 80-story crane at NYC construction site
A knucklehead daredevil was arrested Sunday and charged with scaling to the top of a towering 80-story crane at a Tribeca construction site, according to police.
Isaiah Washington, 20, was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing shortly before 8:30 a.m. at 45 Park Place, the NYPD said.
Hair-raising photos at the scene show the high-climbing suspect near the top of the crane.
When he came down Washington, wearing a dark hoodie, was placed in handcuffs and transported to the First Precinct stationhouse to be processed, cops said.
The pics show a second person in handcuffs at the scene but the NYPD said only Washington has been charged.
The second individual is seen wearing a gray hoodie.
The incident ended without injuries — unlike earlier incidents involving construction cranes in the Big Apple.
In 2016, a towering crane collapsed at another Tribeca construction site resulting in tragedy when falling debris struck and killed a Harvard-trained math whiz on the ground.
A woman injured by the falling debris later sued the city.
In July, a blaze at another crane in Hell’s Kitchen forced the neighboring YOTEL hotel to evacuate guests — leaving one passerby with a small gash to the head, authorities said.
