The masked daredevil couple that illegally climbed the Empire State Building in New York (and then got engaged), was charged with burglary, reckless endangerment, and criminal mischief, among other crimes. Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Kuznetsov, 32, were filmed leaving court together yesterday. They even shared a passionate kiss before getting on the subway.

The couple stars in the Netflix documentary “Skywalkers: A Love Story.” They routinely climb very tall structures without safety equipment and document it.
Yesterday, they apparently snuck past security and scaled the spire of the Empire State Building to unfurl a pro-peace banner. Then, Kuznetsov got down on one knee and proposed. Police equipped with safety harnesses met the pair about halfway down the building and arrested them.
See Nikolau’s post about the Empire State Building stunt below.
Here is news footage showing the pair leaving court yesterday:
This situation is still evolving, and details may change.
