Man Arrested For Scaling Antenna At Former Bishop Ford High School

A local man was arrested on Tuesday for trying to climb the antenna at former Bishop Ford High School in Windsor Terrace on Tuesday afternoon, according to the New York Post.

The Post reported that police arrested Leonid Etkin for one count of criminal trespassing. However, Etkin’s YouTube channel shows this is isn’t the first time he’s climbed the 200-foot-tall tower on 10th Avenue and McDonald Avenue in the last few months.

In the videos, Etkin says that part of the reason why he climbs the antenna is because it is dangerous and he likes the scary, uncomfortable feeling.
