NATION : ‘Megaman’ Stunt Snarls N.Y. Traffic
A handicapped daredevil calling himself “Megaman” and wearing a cape today dangled from the George Washington Bridge, throwing smoke bombs and causing a massive rush-hour traffic snarl.
After about two hours, police hauled the man up by the ropes he used to hang from the bridge and arrested him.
The daredevil, identified as Raymond Mohammad of the Bronx, was the same man who last August dangled from a wheelchair from the Brooklyn Bridge, his Megaman nickname emblazoned on his socks, police said. He said then that he performed the stunt to draw attention to the plight and the abilities of handicapped people.
