Las Vegas police arrested a man, identified on social media as Maison DesChamps or prolife.spiderman, for illegally climbing The Sphere, the city's large luminous sphere, this Wednesday.
At the top of the entertainment center, the amateur climber launched a live broadcast, in which he asked his followers to donate funds to supposedly prevent the abortion of a pregnant homeless woman.
The police operation resulted in a traffic jam.
Las Vegas Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill called the situation a “publicity stunt.”
In recent days, the city has beefed up its security in preparation for the Super Bowl taking place this Sunday.
