Japanese Man Nabbed after Climbing
Tokyo Landmark



TOKYO: A Japanese man made his way to a spot about 100 meters (328 ft) adove ground on a famous Tokyo landmark on Sunday.It may have been a reckless attempt to impress a girl.

Japanese private broadcaster “TV Asahi” showed the footage of a man standing on an iron frame on the exterior of the 333-meters Tokyo Tower and unfurling a banner adorned with a large red heart and words that appeared to be the name of a girl.

“Maybe he intended this as a message for someone. I suspect that is the case since it had a heart on it,” a Tokyo police official said.

The man,who claims to be 31,came down from a sport around 100 meters high after being persuaded by the police and was arrested for trespassing,the police official said.

Just how he managed to get up there remains a mystery.

“It’s not clear how he got in and where he began his climb,” the police official said.A Tokyo Tower official said there was no way to get to where the man had climbed from the inside.
