SHANGHAI (AFP) — A Chinese climber was detained on Wednesday after scaling the country's tallest building in a feat emulating the stunts of French "spiderman" Alain Robert, state media said Wednesday.
The man surnamed Zou, started climbing the 430-metre (1,410-foot) Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai on Tuesday evening, the Xinhua news agency reported, citing a statement from the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Zou, 28, an unemployed man from central China's Hunan province, reached the halfway point of the 88-storey building within an hour but eventually took five hours to get to the top, the report said.
