Man with gun outside UN surrenders to police
Live video showed the man surrendering to police outside the fence around the UN compound on Manhattan's East Side.
"The individual is now in custody and there is NO THREAT to the public," the New York Police Department tweeted.
The U.N. complex was temporarily put on lockdown on Thursday as police responded to the incident. Before turning himself in, the man paced back and forth by the fence and left several notebooks on the sidewalk, which were taken by police in heavy armor.
