Anti-capitalism protesters landed in Manhattan on Friday – and the video captured a man climbing up the front of a Chase Bank before taking an epic dive to the ground.
Filmed by FreedomNews.TV and posted on Twitter shows a protester climbing the bank building on Madison Avenue between 46th and 47th East while drumming and chanting is heard, as well as a man shouting at the protester “get down!”
Another protester is seen disfiguring the building with spray paint while the other protester continues to rise just before 5 pm.
The climbing protester suddenly lost control and fell on the sidewalk, the video shows.
Other protesters hurried over to him as he lay wounded on the floor before black paint in a spray leaked out of his bag and across the sidewalk.
The first respondents then arrived on the scene to assist the protester.
The man was eventually taken to Bellevue Hospital, officials said.
