Fox News reported:

Two masked people climbed on top of the Empire State Building Wednesday afternoon holding a banner reading “when the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.”

Roughly 40 police officers remain in front of the building. Others are directing traffic around the building.

The entrance on Fifth Ave., between West 33rd and 34th streets, is blocked off.

Pedestrians were seen gathering on every corner surrounding the building watching the situation unfold.

Counting the spire and antenna, the skyscraper stands 1,454 feet tall.

It is currently the fourth-tallest building in New York City, the sixth-tallest in the U.S., and the 43rd tallest tower in the world.
