A man climbed a crane early Friday at a construction site in East Hollywood, forcing the closure of streets in the area.
A stretch of Hollywood Boulevard was closed after the man, carrying what appeared to be a bag, climbed the 150-foot-tall crane at about 6 a.m.
Firefighters and law enforcement personnel responded to the scene. They eventually climbed to the top of the crane to assist the man.
The Los Angeles Fire Department classified the incident as an apparent
“behavioral emergency.”
