Man arrested for 'spider-man' stunt ( 2003-10-10 08:45) (Agencies) A man was ordered jailed for 15 days after scaling, "Spider-man"-style, the 88-story Jinmao Tower, China's tallest building, police said Thursday.
Television reports showed Wang Huan, a 27-year-old from Northeast China's Liaoning province, climbing the silvery 1,400-foot structure in Pudong, Shanghai's new financial district, as a crowd gathered to watch. He scaled the tower's scaffold-like exterior without ropes. Footage showed him stopping to wave about halfway through the ascent, which took more than an hour, according to an officer at a nearby police station, who refused to give her name. Wang, who was not the first to climb the building without ropes, staged the stunt Tuesday. Police came prepared, laying out a cushion in case he fell. At the top of the building, officers were waiting to arrest him. Wang was arrested for "infringing public security," police
said.
