NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
Another tourist has climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and this one took a selfie and published it to social media.
David Karnauch, an engineering student at the University of Tennessee, posted the picture with the Manhattan skyline behind him on his Instagram account.
He says he accessed the bridge from the pedestrian walkway and was never stopped on the way up or down.
Deputy Commissioner John Miller told Fox 5 News, "Had the officers patrolling the bridge arrived while he was there, he would have been arrested, as others have been..."
Karnauch's Instagram page shows him at the top of various structures in different locations.
This is the fourth time in a year that someone has scaled the potential terror target.
Last July, two German artists replaced the American flags with two white washed flags in the dead of night.
In August, a Russian tourist was caught on video walking along a beam, and in November, a French tourist was arrested after climbing the bridge to take pictures.

New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito is taking exception to the way Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a deal with Uber earlier this week. According to Mark-Viverito, de Blasio is not behind the deal-making, rather the city council is and sexism played a role in the mayor making the announcement.
