French "Spiderman" Alain Robert raises his arms after successfully scaling Malaysia's Petronas Towers Tuesday, his third attempt on the nation's tallest structure, in Kuala Lumpur. The 46-year-old began climbing the 88-story building before dawn and reached the top before being discovered by security officials.


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Police arrested a French climber nicknamed "Spiderman" on Tuesday after he scaled Malaysia's iconic 88-story Petronas Twin Towers, police said.

Alain Robert sneaked past security early Tuesday to climb to the top of Tower 2 of the landmark buildings in Kuala Lumpur before he was detained, said city police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman.

Robert is being investigated for criminal trespass, which carries a maximum jail term of six months and a $850 fine, he said.

Robert has already tried to climb Malaysia's Twin Towers twice but only reached the 60th floor both times before he was arrested. His last attempt was in 2007.

The 47-year-old has climbed more than 70 skyscrapers worldwide, including the Empire State Building, the Sears Tower and Taipei 101, according to his website.
