A daring climber known as ‘french spiderman’ has been arrested on grounds of being a public nuisance, for causing road closures and putting pressure on emergency services, who had set up a cordon around the building.

Alain Robert, the 56 year old climber has been scaling London’s tallest buildings, without safety equipment or ropes.

He has climbed over 160 skyscrapers and says he feels fully alive when his life is at stake.
