A man paragliding above New York Harbour flew too close to the Statue of Liberty and found himself caught in its grasp.
The man, identified by the Associated Press news agency as Thierry Devaux, a French stuntman, had been circling the 46m (151-foot) high statue in his paraglider.

But his motor-driven parachute became snagged on the torch and he was left dangling for about 45 minutes before managing to haul himself up by the parachute's ropes with the help of rescue workers.
