(NewsNation) — Police and firefighters rescued a man from the lower rooftop of an Axios office building in Northern Virginia on Thursday morning, according to local outlet ARL Now.

The outlet reported that Arlington County police were called to the fourth-floor rooftop of Axios’ headquarters at approximately 10:30 a.m. local time due to reports of a man suffering from a potential panic attack.

Police quickly rescued the man, shackling him before helping him onto a firetruck ladder to get down. Once on the ground, they loaded him into the back of a police vehicle.

A witness told the outlet the man was repeatedly shouting “6-7,” likely a reference to the viral term that took the internet by storm in 2025.

The man suffered no injuries and won’t face charges, an Arlington County police spokesperson told the outlet.
