Taylor Swift's alleged 'stalker' apprehended as he attempts to enter her NYC apartment

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: New York Police Department has arrested an alleged Taylor Swift stalker after he tried to break into her Tribeca apartment.

The incident occurred on Saturday, January 20, when authorities apprehended an individual whose name has not been confirmed yet.

The apprehension took place around 1:35 pm on the street where Taylor's apartment is situated, as confirmed by the NYPD.

Where did neighbors say on stalker?

Officers received a call about a "disorderly person" attempting to open the door to what is reported to be the lobby of Taylor's apartment.

The man in question had an active warrant and was taken into custody.

“Upon arrival, [police] were informed that the individual attempted to open a door to a building at the location,” the public information officer said.

“I first saw him around 1 pm — he went up to Taylor’s door,” the eyewitnesses said. “I’m not sure if he knocked or rang the doorbell.”

The man was 'lurking' around for a few days near the apartment, says eyewitness

According to a second source who spoke to PageSix, the man had been observed earlier as well, "lurking here for a month."

He’s been “sleeping on the stoop, chain-smoking constantly, shouting, and generally making everyone uncomfortable.”

“When he arrived before Christmas, my husband asked what he was doing here and he said, ‘I want to see Taylor,'” one neighbor said. “He even had flowers at one point.”

“I asked him to leave this morning and he just stared at me, catatonic,” the neighbor added. “Total nutcase.”

“It was all pretty civil,” the eyewitness said. “He didn’t resist. There was no yelling or anything.”

Mitchel Taebel, 36, was arrested in March after allegedly stalking the ‘Love Story’ singer by visiting her home in Nashville, Tennessee.

He reportedly sent pictures of weapons to Taylor's team saying he would "destroy them."
