A demonstrator scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in Washington, D.C. Friday morning following the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Guido Reichstadter, a Florida native, climbed the bridge around 11 a.m. with a flag and a large green banner. Traffic on the bridge came to a halt as police attempted to reach out to the man.
"It's wonderful to be up here … I don't mind spending the night up here," he said. "I don't mind staying up here day after day. The first thing I did when I opened up my pack my water bottle rolled out the pack down the bridge, so I haven't had any water up here, but I can probably hold out a day or two or three without water."
Images show Reichstadter using his phone while on the bridge. Reports say the demonstrator has posted to social media multiple times since climbing the structure. Demonstrator scales Frederick Douglass Bridge following Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
