A man using a drone to take pictures of the Manhattan skyline accidentally crashed the device into the Empire State Building. He then went in to ask security for his drone back. Instead of helping, they called the cops.

27-year-old Sean Riddle, of Jersey City, NJ, was arrested yesterday sometime before 8:00pm, according to the New York City Police Department.

Riddle was charged with reckless endangerment, misdemeanor criminal mischief, and illegally navigating an aircraft over the city.

Police told Newsday that the drone hit the skyscraper's 40th floor before it fell down to a lower landing, apparently on the 35th floor. Riddle asked Empire State Building security guards to get the drone back, but the guards called police instead. There were no injuries. There's no word on whether the drone was retrieved.

"Filming w/ drone, now its stuck on the empire state building... w/security #backgroundcheck," Riddle tweeted before his arrest.
