A man has been arrested after allegedly climbing the Severn Bridge and flying a drone from it.
Avon and Somerset Police were called to the bridge, which connects England and Wales, at 8.10am on New Year's Eve.
Officers closed the M48 in both directions between junctions 1 and 2 to deal with the incident.
A force spokesman said: "Officers attended the M48 Severn Bridge at 8.10am this morning after concerns were raised for a man who appeared to have climbed one of the towers and was flying a drone off it.
"The man, aged in his 20s, came down from the tower voluntarily and has since been arrested for causing a public nuisance."
The bridge originally opened in 1966, with the Second Severn Crossing - now known as the Prince of Wales Bridge - completed in 1996.
Tolls in place on both bridges were scrapped on December 17.
