The 35-year-old Crown Heights man was arrested Friday for entering Swift's properties on Tribeca's Franklin Street, according to reports.

NEW YORK CITY — A 35-year-old man faces trespassing and stalking charges he was found at two New York City properties linked to pop superstar Taylor Swift, according to multiple reports.
Joshua Christian, of Crown Heights, was arrested Friday after entering Swift's properties on Tribeca's Franklin Street on two different occasions, according to a New York Post report.
Christian went to Swift's property on March 26, police told the Associated Press. He walked "through an unlocked door and remained unlawfully" before fleeing on foot when security told him to leave, investigators reportedly said.

A judge ordered Christian to stay away from the singer, the Post reported. Christian's bail was set at $1, but the judge was also arrested without bail for fleeing a reckless driving charge in Florida. He is due back in court July 28 on the reckless driving charge, according to the Post.
Swift, 32, has had prior issues with alleged stalkers, according to The AP. In 2018, police said a man broke into her Tribeca townhouse and took a nap. That same year, a Colorado man was arrested outside a Beverly Hills home owned by Swift with a knife, a rope and ammunition.
