Daredevil couple who got engaged atop Empire State Building released — as lawyer claims it was a ‘message of love’

Russian rooftoppers Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov were arrested Wednesday after scaling the Empire State Building antenna to stage a marriage proposal. The pair, dressed in black, unfurled a peace banner and kissed during the stunt. They faced multiple charges, including reckless endangerment, and were arraigned on Thursday. However, they were released Wednesday after their lawyer described the act as a message of love, despite the legal repercussions following the Instagram stunt.
