Only a week after opening, a Portal that allowed New Yorkers to see to Dublin, Ireland has closed because of a series of incidents.

The art installation next to the Flatiron Building featured a livestream between the two cities, allowing people to see each other and interact. But it's been plagued by pranksters, with some people flashing the Portal

"Instances of inappropriate behavior have come from a very small minority of Portal visitors and have been amplified on social media," the Flatiron NoMad Partnership said.

It's said this will be a temporary closing while officials decide how to ensure that visitors act appropriately.
