NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two gay lovers took off most of
their clothes, climbed up a tree in New York's Central
Park and spent four hours engaging in sex acts and
yelling abuse at police and firefighters.
Police said officers talked the men out of the three
story high tree on Thursday night after the parks
department had sent two cherry-pickers and
firefighters had deployed an inflatable rescue
mattress.
The couple, described by officials as a 32-year-old
transsexual with female breasts wearing a purple thong
and a 17-year-old boy in white boxer shorts, were
admitted to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
At one point during the standoff in the larch tree --
an evergreen with pine-like needles -- the 32-year-old
rejected a police officer's offer of a can of soda.
"This is a Coke. I wanted vanilla Diet Pepsi," he was
quoted as saying in newspaper reports.
On Friday, police charged William Rund, 32, and
Christopher Montero, 17, both of New York, with
reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, criminal
mischief, public lewdness and disorderly conduct.
