A man was arrested after he apparently lost control of a small drone that crashed into the Empire State Building on Thursday night.

The drone hit the 40th floor of the 1,454-foot landmark skyscraper and then fell to a 35th-floor landing. The 29-year-old man went to the Manhattan building’s security to request his drone back, but the guards called police.
