An Occupy Wall
There is heavy police presence in the Lower Manhattan area near the park as police attempt to coax down the man, identified as Dylan Farenhorst Spaelstra of Canada.
A friend of Farenhorst told NBC New York the protester was handed a citation from police for public urination early Saturday morning.
He climbed the 70-foot-tall red steel sculpture at the park at about 7 a.m. It wasn't immediately clear if the citation prompted Farenhorst to climb the sculpture.
Farenhorst has been on the sculpture for about two hours.
He's been doing sit-ups and writing on the sculpture.
Police have set up a blow-up mattress around the bottom of the sculpture.
Farenhorst has been telling friends he wants to speak with the mayor and for 15 police officers to be removed from Zuccotti Park, where Occupy Wall Street protesters have been camped out for over a month.
