Four climate change protesters were taken into custody Thursday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium during a women's U.S. Open semifinal match.

U.S. Open tournament referee Jake Gardner entered the court while security went into the stands to remove protesters wearing shirts that said "End Fossil Fuels."

The United States Tennis Association said 49 minutes elapsed before play between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova resumed.

One of them even glued his feet to the ground, and the New York Police Department apparently questioned his sanity.

Shayok Mukhopadhyay, 50, said the NYPD took him to a psych ward after he was arrested.

Mukhopadhyay said he spent several hours at a hospital.

"I’ve been arrested before, but I’ve never had this experience," Mukhopadhyay told the New York Daily News. "They were asking obvious leading questions, like, ‘Do you think the world is going to end?’ This typical stereotype of the crazy, apocalyptic cult kind of thing."

Mukhopadhyay moved to White Plains, New York, 25 years ago from India.

Despite the NYPD thinking he was a "crazy person," he said that title belongs to President Biden.
