A daredevil was captured risking his life by climbing a 200ft crane just to take a selfie.
Concerned residents raised the alarm after spotting the man scaling the giant crane, which towers above the skyline, in central Brighton.
In a terrifying evening act of trespassing, the man climbed up the construction equipment before taking a number of pictures of himself near the top.
Neighbour Sally Baker watched the drama unfold, she said: "There was a group of us outside and we thought he was going to jump.
"He used the ladder inside to get right to the top of the crane.

"I would say he was up there for about 15 minutes - it was a good old while"
The 27-year-old, who lives in nearby, added: "Police were there and it looked like he got down and ran off."
The crane is the largest in the £130 million Circus Street construction site.
It is being used to finish off the development, which is set to including 142 homes, 450 student bedrooms and office space.
It was the centre of a major immigration raid last week which led to 12 site workers being deported.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "At 8.50pm on Sunday a man was seen climbing a building site crane at Kingswood Street, Brighton.
