A man disrupted morning traffic in Melbourne by scaling the 140-meter eastern tower of the Bolte Bridge. The incident on Tuesday led to a police standoff as the man refused to descend.
During the event, the man, whose identity is not yet confirmed, demanded a peanut butter sandwich be delivered via drone. He also allegedly defaced the bridge with graffiti resembling 'Pam the Bird,' a symbol previously seen on numerous Melbourne buildings.
Police reported the man was responsible for the graffiti and was refusing to comply with directions. A lane on the bridge was closed due to the situation. This stunt drew parallels to previous incidents involving the 'Pam the Bird' symbol, with one individual facing over 200 charges last year.
