A mysterious Melbourne bridge climber brought one of Australia's busiest motorways to a standstill after scaling a 460-foot pillar of Melbourne's Bolte Bridge, then refusing to come down for hours unless his extraordinary demands were met.
What began as an apparent graffiti mission soon escalated into a six-hour spectacle, with police, emergency crews and thousands of stranded motorists watching as the masked man remained perched high above the city. Along the way, he demanded lower taxes, requested a peanut butter and jam sandwich with a glass of milk, and even asked for a blanket to keep warm in Melbourne's winter chill.
