A man was arrested after climbing a crane in the middle of the city last night.
Police were alerted just after 8pm on Saturday 15 November that a man had climbed a crane on a commercial building site on the corner of King William Street and Gilbert Street, Adelaide.
Police called in STAR Group and police negotiators to persuade the man, who was at least 20 storeys off the ground, to climb down safely.
Negotiators did an excellent job to engage with the man for hours and were able to bring about a safe resolution when he climbed down around 4.30am.
The 19-year-old Hackham West man was arrested and taken to hospital by ambulance for assessment. He is expected to be charged with trespass and obstructing a public place.
