In a startling incident at Sydney’s Circular Quay, a 29-year-old man was arrested after attempting to climb the mooring lines of the Carnival Adventure cruise ship. The event unfolded around 3 PM on Saturday, drawing a crowd of onlookers and prompting a swift response from the New South Wales Police.
The man, dressed in a hoodie, track pants, and sandals, was seen dangling precariously from the ship’s mooring ropes. Bystanders captured the scene on video, which quickly circulated on social media platforms, with some dubbing him ‘Spider-Man’ due to his daring ascent.
Police arrived promptly, and with the assistance of the ship’s crew, the mooring line was lowered, allowing officers to safely bring the man aboard their vessel. He was then escorted to Day Street Police Station.
Authorities have charged him with three offenses related to unauthorized entry into restricted zones. He has been granted conditional bail and is scheduled to appear in court on June 11.
This incident underscores the importance of adhering to safety protocols and the potential dangers of unauthorized access to maritime vessels.
