High minded Feng Hu took his complaint right to the top when planners told him his home had to make way for an office block - 300ft up to the top of a bridge in Wuhan, central China.

Feng scaled the suspension bridge cables amid claims that corrupt officials had taken backhanders for allowing developers to level the existing housing around his home in Hubei province.

He kept police at bay for two hours before agreeing to allow firefighters to help him down after town hall officials had agreed to investigate his claims.

"He was amazing. He went up there like Spiderman," said one witness.
