Helicopter reportedly carrying Maduro lands in Manhattan
Numerous NYPD vehicles could be seen Saturday evening near the 30th Street Heliport in Manhattan. Officers were directing traffic and had closed off sections of nearby 12th Avenue between 14th and 34th Streets for over an hour.
The NYPD did not immediately have details regarding the street closures.
When a helicopter arrived around 6:55 p.m., the NYPD completely shut down the West Side Highway.
The New York Times reported that Maduro arrived on the helicopter.
A motorcade of vehicles then moved south along the highway.
