French climber Alain Robert has been arrested after scaling Europe's tallest skyscraper in the Russian capital Moscow.

Robert, who calls himself Spiderman, climbed to the top of the 800-feet-high Federation office building in less than 30 minutes using a ladder.

Police did not try to prevent him from ascending the building or attempt to pursue him, but detained him afterward.
