French Spiderman’s latest climb: Lisbon Bridge

Alain Robert, 44, also known as the French Spiderman was arrested atop Lisbon’s 25th of April bridge today. Two policemen standing at the top of the pillar arrested Robert for trespassing. He will have to pay a fine of 120 euros (82 pounds) before being released. He used no ropes when he climbed the 190 meters (620 feet) over the Tagus River during rush hour on Monday. Robert said he had been arrested more than 100 times for climbing buildings.

It started at the age of 12 when he got locked out of his apartment and decided to mount the eight stories up to an open window. (source : Reuters)
