A man has been arrested and charged with stalking and harassment after being reprimanded by police outside Taylor Swift's New York City home. The 33-year-old man is called David Crowe from Seattle and NYPD officers arrested him after locals put in complaints about an emotionally disturbed male acting erratically outside the superstar's townhouse. A spokesperson for NYPD said multiple calls forced officers to arrest the man and take him into custody, no injuries were reported. It comes just days after a man was found attempting to tamper with Taylors' front door on Saturday, but authorities have not confirmed if it's the same suspect. The anti-hero hitmaker is yet to comment on the news.
