A section of downtown London was closed off late Monday night after a man climbed up a construction crane.
The incident occurred on King Street around 7:15 p.m. and lasted well into the night with the police tactical unit on scene along with firefighters and paramedics.
Shortly after 1 a.m. police announced that the man was safe and the situation was over.
A 31-year-old man of no fixed address is charged with mischief endangering life.
He will appear in court Tuesday to answer to the charge.
