A man was seen climbing the Shard in London this morning.
Police were called at 5.15am after the figure was spotted scaling the outside of the UK's tallest building.
The dare devil was filmed close to the tower's 300m tall pinnacle.
Heart stopping footage of the ascent shows the man pulling himself up along the outside corner of the 95-storey sky scraper.

According to a Twitter user the climber was spoken to by police after he got to the top.
A man who claimed to know the climber told The Mirror how the man got onto the Shard.
"He ran over London Bridge Station, got a boost from someone and did a pull up onto it," he said.
"He used a few suction cups at the start of it but was then climbing free solo."
When the man went inside the building he was not arrested by police.
"Police were called at 05:15hrs on Monday, 8 July following reports of a ‘free-climber’ on the Shard," a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said.
"Emergency services attended and the man went inside the building where he was spoken to by officers. He was not arrested."
This morning's ascent is not the first time someone has attempted to climb up the building.
A man known as 'The French Spiderman' went without ropes to scale the building.
The 56-year-old Frenchman - real name Alain Robert - went on to climb the 755ft (230m) tall Heron Tower last year.
