Both were apparently intoxicated.

Fire crews were called to the construction site at Albert and Princess streets just before 1 a.m. to rescue the thrill-seekers.

The pair were assisted down the crane by emergency personnel and were then questioned by police.

Kingston police say both were charged with drinking in public and trespassing.
