Police say two young men are arrested after allegedly climbing to the top of a large crane at the construction site for Dunedin’s new hospital. Reports describe the men as intoxicated and climbing the crane while on site. The incident occurs during ongoing construction work for the hospital, and police indicate it could have resulted in serious harm.

The reports describe the crane as large and located at the new hospital project area. No outcomes beyond the arrests are stated in the available summaries, and the reports do not specify charges, injuries, or the time of day. The matter is presented as an alleged breach of safety at an active construction site, with police dealing with the arrests following the incident.
