Philadelphia Police were searching Sunday for two men who allegedly climbed through a City Hall window.

Police said a maintenance worker at the Christmas Village saw the two men climb through a first-floor window on the building's South Broad Street entrance around noon. The worker shouted at the men and then ran to find a security guard, police said, but by the time a security worker came back, the men were gone.

The men were described as 19 to 20 years old, with one wearing a black jacket and blue jeans and the other wearing a tan jacket and dark sweatpants.

Police did not know whether the men took anything from the building.
