Security forces have detained two men after they emerged from a manhole close to where global leaders are gathered for the United Nations General Assembly. The arrests follow a recent spike in comparable break-ins or unauthorized entries in the same area. Authorities have not yet disclosed further details about the incident or the individuals involved. The timing raises questions about heightened security measures during the high-profile diplomatic event.
The authorities said that the men had slinked out of a manhole near where world leaders were staying for the U.N. General Assembly. The arrests come amid a surge of similar incidents in the city.
