Masked daredevil who climbed atop Roosevelt Island tram is charged in reckless stunt
SHARE

A daring young man was charged with reckless endangerment, obstruction of governmental administration, and criminal trespass after he was caught on video scaling the Roosevelt Island tramway in a reckless stunt that sent police scrambling to bring him to safety. Miguel Martinez, a 20-year-old from Oceanside, LI, was the hooded daredevil who nonchalantly walked along the gangway of the tramway’s 250-feet-tall support tower on the Manhattan side.

Shocked onlookers called 911, leading to police responding to the scene in climbing gear. The video footage showed Martinez descending and climbing a series of short ladders on the tower and venturing out onto an I-beam that was barely wide enough to accommodate his feet. First responders bravely made their way to the tower’s peak, secured Martinez in safety gear, and safely brought him down to the ground unharmed.

Martinez was then taken by paramedics to Weill-Cornell Medical Center for evaluation. Despite the dangerous nature of his stunt, police stated that there was no indication that Martinez scaled the tower as part of a protest or for a particular cause. Surprisingly, Martinez, who has no prior arrests in New York City, seemed to have pulled off this dangerous feat without any previous experience in such activities.

The brazen act caught the attention of many New Yorkers and garnered quite a bit of attention. The video of Martinez’s daring climb quickly went viral, with many expressing shock and disbelief at the reckless nature of his actions. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks involved in engaging in such dangerous stunts and the potential consequences that can follow.

Despite the thrill-seeker’s intentions, his actions could have led to serious injury or worse. It is essential to prioritize safety and think about the potential impact of one’s actions before engaging in risky behavior. Martinez’s stunt may have provided a moment of excitement for some, but it also serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of reckless behavior.
