In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a French national was arrested by authorities after an insane climb at Malaysia's iconic 88-story Petronas Twin Towers.
Nicknamed, "Spiderman," Alain Robert sneaked past security and climbed to the top of Tower 2of the celebrated building.
It was unclear as to what floor did Robert reached until he was caught.
In 2007 he was also arrested after reaching the tower's 60th floor.
The 47-year-old thrill seeker has climbed more than 80 landmark towers worldwide including the Empire State Building, the Sears Tower and Taipei 101.
Last February, Robert scaled the 62-story Cheung Kong Center in Hong Kong in just 40 minutes. His website says that he holds the world record for the most extreme solo route ever achieved (8b, Gorge of the Verdon, in 1993)
