When a 27-year-old British tourist climbed from an upper floor to an estate agency sign while on holiday in Benidorm, he became stuck and had no idea how to get out. The tourist stood impassively over the business sign a few meters above the ground, while around him, on central Calle Gambo, curious people and police officers gathered and cordoned off the immediate area. This unexpected deployment of emergency personnel included both local and national police and firefighters.
The man was left lying on the sign for a short while until a fire engine ladder finally came up to the sign and assisted him in getting out.
Police sources claim that the tourist received no punishment for the event, not even an arrest or fine. This pedestrian and commercial route, which links Plaza Triangular with Calle MartÃnez Alejost, returned to normal whilsts some locals used their mobile phones to record the events.
