Two people have been held for allegedly operating a drone that was on a possible collision course with a police helicopter in New York.
The helicopter pilot spotted the small unmanned aircraft near George Washington Bridge on Monday.
The drone continued to circle the bridge, coming within 800ft (240m) of the helicopter and forcing it to change course to avoid a collision.
Police tracked the drone and arrested Wilkins Mendoza and Remy Castro, both of Manhattan, on reckless endangerment charges.
The police also recovered another drone at the scene.
The New York Post, which first reported the story, said Castro and Mendoza bought the drones within the last two weeks for $500 (£290) to $700 (£400) each.
The newspaper cited a friend of the two.
The Federal Aviation Administration has yet to set standards for certifying the safety of civilian drones.
Efforts to provide them regular access to US skies face significant hurdles.
In addition to safety concerns, some human rights group fear that drones might be a danger to the privacy of US citizens.
Civilian drones are typically smaller than the ones used for military strikes.
