Galymzhan Abaildayev, 44, is facing several charges after he was filmed scaling the bridge\u2019s north tower, stripping his clothes and leaping off the north tower on the Manhattan side of the iconic bridge into the East River.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn native also erected several flags on the top of the bridge before he jumped, including a Kazakhstan flag, sources told The Post.
Abaildayev was quickly fished out of the river by Harbor Unit cops and rushed to Bellevue somehow in stable condition.<\/p>\n
