A protester who camped out atop one of Washington’s bridges for six days has come down, ending his stand against artificial intelligence and the US-Israeli war in Iran.
Guido Reichstadter, a Florida-based activist, was seen coming down on Wednesday from one of the arches of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge where he had been camped since May 1.
His presence caused periodic traffic jams as Washington police closed lanes and negotiated with him.
Reichstadter climbed the 51-metre bridge on Friday before unfurling a black banner and setting up a tent.
Reichstadter’s X account showed photos from atop one of the arches where he had pitched a tent. He announced on the site on Tuesday that he would be coming down and expected to be arrested.
