'Spiderman' climbs high-voltage tower to eat a banana in shocking stunt

A 37-year-old man in Primorye has shocked locals by climbing an uninsulated transmission tower to eat a banana. Known as 'Spiderman' for his past stunts, the man’s latest act has raised serious concerns about his safety and the village’s power supply. The incident unfolded when the man scaled the high-voltage pylon, putting himself at extreme risk. A single slip could have been fatal, as the lines carry lethal levels of electricity. His actions also threatened the local power grid, with officials warning that a short circuit or damage to the tower could cut electricity to dozens of homes.

Police are now investigating the situation and considering further action. The man has a history of mental health struggles and was previously placed under mandatory treatment, though it proved ineffective. Authorities have not ruled out returning him to a medical facility with stricter supervision. Energy officials have urged villagers to report any similar incidents immediately. The man’s repeated stunts have made him a local figure, but his behaviour continues to pose dangers to both himself and the community.

The investigation remains ongoing, with police weighing the need for medical intervention. If sent back to a facility, the man may face closer monitoring to prevent future risks. Meanwhile, officials are reinforcing calls for vigilance to avoid disruptions to the village’s power supply.
