The suspect was found shortly before 4:30 a.m. in an upstairs bathroom of the residence, a stately, gated home inside a park on Manhattan's Upper East Side. He was apprehended by the mayor's security detail and charged with attempted burglary.
A spokesperson for Adams said the mayor was not home at the time of the pre-dawn incident.
It wasn’t immediately clear if anything had been taken from the property.
The suspect, who lives a few blocks from the Upper East Side residence, is due to be arraigned in a Manhattan court on Thursday.
