French ‘spiderman’ arrested in Frankfurt after climbing Skyper tower
Alain Robert, dubbed the French “Spiderman” for his exploits in scaling tall building around the world, climbed himself into trouble in Frankfurt Germany on Saturday.
He was arrested by German police after scaling the “Skyper” tower.
Robert, 57, reached the top of 154-metre (500 feet), 42-floor building in just half an hour — without permission nor safety equipment — causing passersby to stop, stare and take photos.
In August, he climbed a Hong Kong skyscraper and unfolded a “peace” banner as massive and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests rocked the city.
Saturday, he gave no reason for his Skyper climb.
