A police officer rappelled down a Manhattan skyscraper to stop a man who was facing financial fraud charges from jumping out of a 31st-floor window
The daring arrest happened after federal agents went to the man's apartment near Carnegie Hall Wednesday morning to take him into custody.
“He was wanted by another agency, and instead of going peacefully to that agency he thought of taking his own life,” NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said at a news briefing. Videos of the episode show Tobin kicking the man back into the apartment while officers inside grab him. Maddrey said Tobin and the other officers from the elite ESU unit “showed patience, care, commitment” throughout the standoff. He said the officers"made a decision that nothing was going to happen to that man today and they kept their word.”
