A French stunt man by the name of Alain Robert , Was taken into custody today as soon as he reached the top of a 57 storey sky scraper at around 10:50 AM (AEST) while pedestrian's applauded this French Spiderman !
The 48 year old took 20 minutes to scale the building without safety equipment using only his hands.
"It's a wonderful achievement," his agent Max Markson said.
"He's the best at what he does.
"I'm sad he's been arrested, but hopefully he'll get out soon and we can have some champagne."
Robert, wearing red trousers, a T-shirt and a baseball cap, started to climb the skyscraper at 10.30am (AEST).
About 100 passers-by gathered to cheer him on, while police set up a crime scene on Bathurst Street.
Rachel Pepper, 11, told AAP she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Robert climb up the building.
"I think it's amazing to climb that high without falling," she said.
"He's got superhuman strength."
Her mother Wendy Pepper agreed.
"It was a nice surprise when we turned the corner and got to see him," she said.
The crowd cheered as Robert reached the top of the building where police were waiting for him.
He was put into a police van and driven away.
It is not the first time Robert has fallen foul of the law in Australia.
The year before he got fined $750 for climbing a 41 storey building Royal Bank of Scotland building in central Sydney.
He was also fined for scaling the Sydney Harbour Bridge !
All up he has climbed 80 buildings world wide to raise awareness for global warming and the one hundred months campaign.
Robert who said he has suffered from vertigo ,he was just 12 when he got locked out of his home and climbed his first building , 8 storeys to get into his home !
He has been arrested and fined many times :y:
I for one like this guy he has BALLS !!!
