A Russian tourist has been arrested after scaling New York's iconic Brooklyn Bridge to take pictures with his cell phone, police said Monday. Yaroslav Kolchin, sporting a backpack, shorts and a baseball cap, was spotted climbing to the top of one of the towers supporting the mighty structure shortly after midday on Sunday. Once there, the 24-year-old walked around and took photos with his iPhone before safely descending back down a cable support beam as a police aviation unit hovered nearby. The incident marks the second time in weeks that security at the Brooklyn Bridge has been breached.
