Although he can be seen online hanging from ledges over Central Park, Gogulan only reached the 11th story of the 39-story Seagram building Thrusday before police took him into custody.
He was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing, according to the Post.
In April, James McNally, a photographer who is known for illegally climbing some of the city’s tallest buildings, was arrested for scaling 70 Pine Street in the Financial District.
